Title: Update on the Radiation Code in IMPACT: Clouds, Heating Rates, and Comparisons

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/881651· OSTI ID:881651

This is a summary of work done over two months in the summer of 2005, which was devoted to improving the radiation code of IMPACT, the LLNL 3D global atmospheric chemistry and aerosol model. Most of the work concerned the addition and testing of new cloud optical property routines designed to work with CAM3 meteorological data, and the comparison of CAM3 with the results of IMPACT runs using meteorological data from CAM3 and MACCM3. Additional related work done in the course of these main tasks will be described as necessary.
