LBLRTM Results

Downwelling radiances at surface (Nsfc↓), upwelling radiance at the top of the atmosphere (NTOA↑), as well as the down- and up-welling radiances at the tropopause ( Ntpp↓ and Ntpp↑ ; Z=13km) for the selected ICRCCM cases are presented in the following table at 1 cm-1 spectral resolution. Spectrally integrated fluxes and cooling rates are shown at the same levels as the atmospheric soundings.
