High Accuracy 3D Radiative Transfer in Cloudy Atmospheres

Alexandra Jones, Ohio Supercomputer Center

Usage Details

One of the most important roles clouds play in the atmosphere is in redistributing radiative energy from the sun and that is emitted from the Earth and atmosphere. However, radiative transfer is generally modeled crudely because of the perceived computational expense. Jones will use an enhanced version of the I3RC community 3D Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer model to produce benchmark simulations of 3D radiative with unrivaled accuracy.
