The I3RC - Bringing Together the Most Advanced Radiative Transfer Tools for Cloudy Atmospheres (2005, methodology): “Such was the case in the intercomparison of 1D GCM RT algorithms, where 3D benchmark results were available (Barker et al. 2003b).”
The ‘too few, too bright’ tropical low‐cloud problem in CMIP5 models (2012, unknown): “For instance, in shallow cumulus regimes the statistical cloud schemes that represent the subgrid-scale variability of total water through a single probability distribution function (PDF) are more likely to under-estimate the height of the cloud base and of the cloud top than the schemes that…”
Impact of a New Radiation Package, McRad, in the ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System (2008, methodology): “…in the distribution of the condensed water within a layer [first addressed by Cahalan et al. (1994) and then by a number of authors including Barker et al. (1999, 2003, 2002)] and about upgrading the gaseous absorption coefficients following the release of a new version of the…”
