Benchmark results in vector atmospheric radiative transfer

Abstract: a b s t r a c tIn this paper seven vector radiative transfer codes are inter-compared for the case of underlying black surface. They include three techniques based on the discrete ordinate method (DOM), two Monte-Carlo methods, the successive orders scattering method, and a modified doubling-adding technique. It was found that all codes give very similar results. Therefore, we were able to produce benchmark results for the Stokes parameters both for reflected and transmitted light in the cases of molecular, ae… Show more

“…The MPD algorithm has been preliminarily verified numerically, using a synthetic data set of top of atmosphere radiances from melting Arctic ice as the input of a satellite spectral instrument. This data set was computed with software developed based on the radiative transfer code RAY (Tynes et al, 2001;Kokhanovsky et al, 2010) for calculating signals reflected by the melting sea ice-atmosphere system. Thus the radiances in the MERIS spectral channels were simulated for a set of ice pixels for a few typical situations, including "standard" white ice, bright ice (snowcovered), as well as dark-and light-blue melt ponds.…”

“…The model we use is the Monte Carlo radiative transfer model MYSTIC which is planned to be publicly available in a future release of the libRadtran Package (Mayer and Kylling, 2005). The MYSTIC solver has been extensively validated (Kokhanovsky et al, 2010) and is described by (Mayer, 2009;Emde et al, 2010). Here we use a simplified 1-D version of MYSTIC, with the restriction of a homogeneous and flat surface, with ground albedo (Lambertian reflectance) set to 0.2 throughout this study.…”

“…It should be stressed that the first method is more rapid in practical calculations and we will discuss it further in Section 4. For these calculations we used the aerosol model from the recent intercomparison with benchmark results (Kokhanovsky et al, 2010) [9] (see Section 3). The molecular scattering is also taken into account at λ ~ 0.76 μm (to illustrate situation in the A-band O 2 ), which is comparable with the aerosol scattering at the given angle.…”

“…In principle, any vector code can do this by using the precalculated molecular spectra as the codes involved in recent validations (Kokhanovsky, 2010) [9]. It takes only to run the code in each spectral point.…”
