======Irradiance and radiance at surface below a water cloud with and without delta scaling====== Calculate the solar irradiance spectrum in the spectral range from 400nm -- 800nm. Use //rte_solver disort// with and without delta-scaling (//deltam on/off//). Assume that the cloud scattering phase function can be approximated by a Heney-Greenstein phase function (see [[teaching:radiative_transfer:legendre_hg|exercise 5]]), which is done in the libRadtran input file as follows: wc_properties hu # parameterization for water clouds # wc_modify gg set 0.86 # specify asymmetry parameter # wc_modify tau set 10 # specify cloud optical thickness The parameterization by Hu uses a Heney-Greenstein approximation for the phase function. Compare results with and without delta scaling. Calculate also the nadir radiance and check how much the radiance is influenced by delta-scaling. How does the irradiance depend on the cloud optical thickness and on the asymmetry parameter?
