Tool for Computing Radiative Transfer in the Earth's Atmosphere

Model used: SBDART version 2.4, released August 23, 2004

References:

Select Calculation to Perform:

Fluxes (up and down) at each atmospheric layer integrated over wavelength (W/m2)

Spectral Fluxes (up and down) at one observer location (W/m2/micron).

Radiance at one observer location (W/m2/um/str), plus up and down fluxes. WARNING: may take some time!

Select Setup Options:

Allow Clouds

Units Legend:

W = Watts, m2 = meters squared, um = micrometer, str = steradian
