This article describes a comprehensive radiative transfer model pertinent to the atmosphere-sea ice-ocean system. The main features of the model include: The atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean each represented by a sufficient number of layers to resolve the change in the optical properties of each stratum; An appropriate quadrature structure to take into account the total reflection at the air-ice or air-water interface, as well as to solve the radiative transfer equation in the coupled system consistently; Provision for a different number of streams (quadrature points) in the atmosphere, ice, and ocean, chosen based on the optical properties in each stratum and the computational accuracy method.
