Abstract The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has developed the third Japanese global
atmospheric reanalysis, the Japanese Reanalysis for Three Quarters of a Century (JRA-3Q) …

The Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma) has developed the
fourth generation of the Canadian Atmospheric Global Climate Model (CanAM4). The new …

This paper describes a new radiation scheme ecRad for use both in the model of the
European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), and off‐line for …

A new radiation package,“McRad,” has become operational with cycle 32R2 of the
Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather …

Atmospheric radiation is a major branch of atmospheric physics that encompasses the
fundamental theories of atmospheric absorption, particle scattering (aerosols and clouds) …

Abstract To use the Monte Carlo Independent Column Approximation method for computing
domain‐average radiative fluxes in large‐scale atmospheric models (LSAMs), a method is …

This article presents and assesses an algorithm that constructs 3D distributions of cloud from
passive satellite imagery and collocated 2D nadir profiles of cloud properties inferred …

A Coupled Cloud Physics–Radiation Parameterization of the Bulk Optical Properties of Cirrus
and Its Impact on the Met Office Unified Model Global Atmosphere 5.0 Configuration in …

We examine differences among reanalysis high-cloud products in the tropics, assess the
impacts of these differences on radiation budgets at the top of the atmosphere and within the …

Aerosol direct radiative forcing (DRF) plays an important role in global climate change but
has a large uncertainty. Here we investigate aerosol DRF with GEOS-Chem-APM, a recently …
