- Cloud pressure retrieval using the O2‐O2 absorption band at 477 nm (2004, background): “[63] Because multiple cloud layers often occur [Bergman and Rasch, 2002; Collins, 2001], the behavior of the algorithm for multilayered cloud systems might be relevant.”
- Description of the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model (CAM 3.0) (2004, methodology): “Note that in the new overlap scheme, the calculation of the combined reflectivities, transmissions, and fluxes at layer interfaces are computed for each binary cloud configuration, subject to techniques for significantly accelerating these calculations (below) [Collins, 2001].”
- Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere–Ice Response to Variations in the Southern Annular Mode (2006, background): “5 mb Prognostic scheme for total cloud condensate (Rasch and Kristjansson 1998) New cloud overlap scheme (Collins 2001) Improved cloud water emissivity/absorptivity scheme (Collins et al.”
- A fast, flexible, approximate technique for computing radiative transfer in inhomogeneous cloud fields (2003, background): “If the model predicts cloud fraction and mean in-cloud condensate in each column, for example, these cloud states and their associated probabilities p(s) can be determined by enumerating all the possibilities implied by the model variables and additional overlap assumptions [e.g., Collins, 2001].”
- The Community Climate System Model: CCSM3 (2004, background): “A prescribeddistribution of sulfate, soil dust,carbonaceouspecies,andseasalt derived from a three-dimensionalassimilation (Collins 2001;Raschet al. 2001)is usedto calculatethedirecteffectsof tropospheric aerosolson the radiative fluxesandheatingrates(Collins et al. 2002b).”
