Review on Estimation of Land Surface Radiation and Energy Budgets From Ground Measurement, Remote Sensing and Model Simulations (2010, background): “Improvements in the parameterization of the water vapor continuum can help to remove some of the negative biases in the downward longwave component [103], [104].”
Structure and Evolution of Mesoscale Convective Systems: Sensitivity to Cloud Microphysics in Convection‐Permitting Simulations Over the United States (2018, methodology): “We focused our effort in the central United States (red box in Figure 1) because a majority of MCSs and associated precipitation concentrate in this region (Feng et al., Table 1 Boundary Conditions and Physics Parameterizations Used in the WRF Model Setup Simulation period 1 May 2011 to 31 August 20”

Radiation balance of the tropical tropopause layer (2004, background): “The impact of different versions of water vapor continuum absorption on climate have been noted in several studies using GCMs by Iacono et al. [2000] , Zhong and Haigh [1999] and Schwartzkopf and Ramaswamy [1999], and the differences here are consistent with these studies.”
Tropical cyclogenesis sensitivity to environmental parameters in radiative–convective equilibrium (2007, methodology): “The sophisticated Rapid Radiative Transfer Model (RRTM) scheme is used for long-wave radiation (Mlawer et al., 1997; Iacono et al., 2000).”
The global energy balance from a surface perspective (2013, background): “These are critical for an accurate calculation of the downward thermal radiation (Kato et al. 2011; Stephens et al. 2012a, b, Kato et al., in press). These sophisticated satellite-based calculations now independently advocate a higher value, of 344 Wm in their latest version (Surface EBAF Ed2.6r, Ka”
Atmospheric radiative transfer modeling: a summary of the AER codes (2005, methodology): “It is also being tested for application in the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model [16,21] and the more recent NCAR Community Atmosphere Model (CAM).”
Radiative forcing by long‐lived greenhouse gases: Calculations with the AER radiative transfer models (2008, methodology): “[8] With the objective of providing a radiative transfer model that can be directly applied to GCMs [Iacono et al., 2000, 2003] with an accuracy that is traceable to ARM and other measurements, RRTM has been modified to produce RRTMG.”
