【 摘 要 】

This is a summary of work done over an 8 week period from May to July 2004, which concerned testing the longwave and shortwave radiation packages in Impact. The radiation code was initially developed primarily by Keith Grant in the context of LLNL's 2D model, and was added to Impact over the last few summers. While the radiation code had been tested and also used in some aerosol-related calculations, its 3D form in Impact had not been validated with comparisons to satellite data. Along with such comparisons, our work described here was also motivated by the need to validate the radiation code for use in the SciDAC consortium project. This involved getting the radiation code working with CAM/WACCM met data, and setting the stage for comparing CAM/WACCM radiation output with Impact results.
