Simulating 3-D radiative transfer effects over the Sierra Nevada Mountains using WRF
A surface solar radiation parameterization based on deviations between 3-D and conventional plane-parallel radiative transfer models has been incorporated into the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to understand the solar insolation over mountain/snow areas and to investigate the impact o...
