Summary
Abstract: The 2001 program is a radiative transfer model that calculates solar
radiation flux to the surface. The model is based on simple, physical
modeling of the most important radiative processes occurring within
the atmosphere, namely scattering and absorption by clouds,
atmospheric gases and aerosols. Visible spectrum geostationary
satellite imagery is used to compute ... View entire text
