List of atmospheric radiative transfer codes

List of atmospheric radiative transfer codes

List of atmospheric radiative transfer codes - this article contains list of atmospheric radiative transfer codes and their applications.

Classification

The compilation contains information about the atmospheric radiative transfer, relevant databases, and atmospheric radiation parameterizations. Public domain codes are grouped separately from commercial codes. The codes are classified accordingly to several criteria:

*Solver method: (a) numerical discretization of the radiative transfer equation(examples include discrete ordinate method, Monte Carlo method, or adding and doubling metod), (b) geometry (e.g. plane parallel or three dimensional)
*Properties of the atmosphere such as: (a) single scattering properties of cloud droplets, ice crystals, aerosols; (b) scattering and absorbing properties of air molecules
*Characterization of boundary conditions (e.g. bidirectional reflectance distribution function, albedo)
*Type of output (e.g. irradiance or radiance)

Public molecular absorption databases

Other transmission band codes include LOWTRAN (Kneizs et al., 1983) which is now obsolete, Moderate Spectral Atmospheric Radiance and Transfer (MOSART), SMAC (Rahman and Dedieu, 1994) a Simplified Method for the Atmospheric Correction of Satellite Measurements in the Solar Spectrum , and LidarPC.

Public multiple scattering plane-parallel

Other code is FEMRAD, finite element method.

Public vector (polarization) codes

History

This compilation was originally (at the beginning of 2000's) known as RTELIB and was maintained by Piotr J. Flatau at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Books

In this subsection we list only books which, besides general content, specifically document available radiative transfer codes. For more complete list of atmospheric radiative transfer related books see an article on atmospheric radiative transfer codes. Mobley (1994) documents in great detail Hydrolight code which is used mostly in ocean optics applications. Thomas and Stamnes (1999) describes DISORT code.
