OSTI ID:889065
The solar radiation transport through broken clouds can be treated as photon transport through stochastic media. The stochastic radiative transfer equation and a new statistically inhomogeneous Markovian model are used to derive analytically equations for the ensemble-averaged intensity. The computational method for solving these equations is introduced and their accuracy and robustness are discussed. Validation tests show good predictive performance for the mean radiative properties.
