Comparing 1D solvers in the TenStream lib vs the new DISORT implementation
Experiment setup: We run a small simulations for the solar and thermal spectral range and compare the results to various 1D solvers in the TenStream lib. There is a cloud with LWC=\(0.01\ [g / kg]\) between 800 and 700 hPa. The dynamics grid extends up to 250 hPa and …
