Abstract

Band division is an important basis in radiative calculations, and the configuration of band divisions for various research purposes directly influences the accuracy and speed of radiative transfer computations. We explore four band-division schemes and their impacts on computed radiative fluxes and cooling rates. We explain that discrepancies in solar radiation at the surface that exist between radiation models and observations under clear-sky conditions arise partly from ignoring minor gases and weak absorption bands for major gases.
