Comparison of modeled and observed cloud-free longwave downward radiation over the Alps

Differences between computed and observed cloud-free longwave downward radiation (LDR) were examined both for Payerne and six further radiation sites of the Alpine Surface Radiation Budget (ASRB) network. LDR was computed by the complex radiative transfer model (RTM) MODTRAN v4.0 and by a simplified...
