The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The libRadtran software package for radiative transfer calculations (version 2.0.1) (2015, background): “It has been validated in many in-350 ternational model intercomparison studies, for radiance calculations with highly peaked phase functions (Kokhanovsky et al., 2010), for polarized radiance calculations (Emde et al., 2015), and for radiances and irradiances 3D model domains (Cahalan et al., 2005).”
A successive order of scattering code for solving the vector equation of transfer in the earth's atmosphere with aerosols (2007, background): “Important progress is presently made in designing 3-D codes necessary to handle real non uniform clouds [8]; other 3-D models are developed for twilight [9], and limb [10] observations.”
RAMI4PILPS: An intercomparison of formulations for the partitioning of solar radiation in land surface models (2011, methodology): “…of the resulting simulations (i.e., the model output) is established by comparison with (1) local measurements, (2) information derived from spaceborne observations, and (3) the mean and spread of model ensemble simulations [e.g., Liang et al., 1998;Cahalan et al., 2005; Essery et al., 2009].”
