RTE+RRTMGP
This is the repository for RTE+RRTMGP, a set of codes for computing radiative fluxes in planetary atmospheres. RTE+RRTMGP is described in a paper in Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems.
RRTMGP uses a correlated k-distribution to provide an optical description (absorption and possibly Rayleigh optical depth) of the gaseous atmosphere, along with the relevant source functions, on a pre-determined spectral grid given temperatures, pressures, and gas concentration. The k-distribution currently distributed with this package is applicable to the Earth's atmosphere under present-day, pre-industrial, and 4xCO2 conditions.
RTE computes fluxes given spectrally-resolved optical descriptions and source functions. The fluxes are normally summarized or reduced via a user extensible class.
Building the libraries, examples, and unit-testing codes.
A description of building RTE+RRTMGP with CMake is described in the documentation.
See also the autoconf branch for a Gnu autotools build system.
Examples
Two examples are provided in examples/, one for clear skies and one including clouds. Directory tests/ contains regression testing (e.g. to ensure that answers are independent of orientation) and unit testing (to be sure all the code paths are tested). See the README file and codes in each directory for further information.
