An Efficient Parameterization for Surface Shortwave 3D Radiative Effects in Large‐Eddy Simulations of Shallow Cumulus Clouds

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2023
Most atmospheric models consider radiative transfer only in the vertical direction (1D), as 3D radiative transfer calculations are too costly. Thereby, horizontal transfer of radiation is omitted, resulting in incorrect surface radiation fields.
