Application and Evaluation of Accelerated Radiative Transfer Schemes in General Circulation Models

Gabriel, P., Stephens, G.L., and Partain, P.T., Colorado State University
Ninth Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Science Team Meeting

This phase of the research focuses on the implementation of the adjoint perturbation and selection rules based methods that have been developed as a basis for use in general circulation models (GCMs). The implementation of the approach in a GCM will be described and the accuracy and computational efficiency of the new method discussed. The new scheme will be shown to be both accurate and substantially faster than current schemes used in GCMs.
