Abstract:

The solar radiative fluxes in the cloudy and cloudless atmosphere are calculated taking into account multiple scattering and absorption. The cloudy conditions observed in Tomsk and Volgograd regions are considered. A comparison between the fluxes calculated with different water vapor continuum absorption models, such as the MT_CKD empirical model, commonly used in the atmospheric simulation, and the continuum model based on the CAVIAR experimental data, is carried out. The water vapor continuum impact on the shortwave radiative fluxes in the presence of different cloud types is estimated.

Keywords:

continual absorption, water vapour, shortwave radiative fluxes, cloudiness
