Uncertainties of parameterized surface downward clear-sky shortwave and all-sky longwave radiation.

As many environmental models rely on simulating the energy balance at the Earth's surface based on parameterized radiative fluxes, knowledge of the inherent model uncertainties is important. In this study we evaluate one parameterization of clear-sky direct, diffuse and global shortwave downwar...
