| Description | The parameterization of solar radiation in the Goddard Laboratory for atmospheric sciences (GLAS) general circulation model (GCM) is described. It explicitly considers the directional nature of the direct solar beam in treating radiative transfer within clouds, and in treating the effect of surface reflection. This is accomplished using delta Eddington and delta 2 stream models for the radiative transfer within isolated atmospheric layers, and by coupling the individual layers together by efficiently repeated applications of the interaction principle. |
