konrad.radiation.RRTMG.__init__

RRTMG.__init__(*args, solar_constant=551.58, mcica=False, **kwargs)[source]
Parameters

  • zenith_angle (float) – angle of the Sun [degrees]. In konrad, with no diurnal cycle, this should represent a diurnal mean zenith angle. With a diurnal cycle, this represents latitude. For single radiation calculations, this is the angle to the Sun at the time and location of interest.

  • bias (dict-like) – include bias corrections to the fluxes and/or heating rates

  • solar_constant (int) – [W m^-2]

  • mcica (bool) –

    • False

      use the nomcica version of RRTMG (clear-sky or overcast)

    • True

      use the mcica version of RRTMG (needed for partly cloudy skies)
