Fast FM – SOLAR – Black sky albedo of cloud-surface system
Fast FM – SOLAR – White sky albedo of surface-cloud system
Fast FM - SOLAR Combining with gas absorption Transmittances below the cloud Transmittances above the cloud RSBRDF = RSBRDF * Tbc(q0) * Tbc(qv) RSblack = RSblack * Tbc(q0) * Tbc(qd) RSwhite = RSwhite * Tbc(qd) * Tbc(qd) RBRDF, Rblack, Rwhite of the surface-cloud system are used in input as ‘surface reflectance’ paramenter for the second cloud layer. 2 layers: for 2 layer we call the SOLAR FM 2 times: first call Tac =1; second call Tbc =T between the 2 layer
