Technical note: Fu-Liou-Gu and Corti-Peter model performance evaluation for radiative retrievals from cirrus clouds
View through CrossRef
Abstract. We compare, for the first time, the performance of a simplified radiative transfer algorithm code, the Corti-Peter model, versus the more complex Fu-Liou-Gu model, for resolving top-of-the-atmosphere radiative forcing characteristics from single layer cirrus clouds obtained from the NASA Micro Pulse Lidar Network database in 2010 and 2011 at Singapore. The results of the intercomparison show that differences in annual net TOA cloud radiative forcing can reach 68 %. The simplified Corti and Peter, 2009 model proves useful for first-order estimates of TOA cirrus cloud forcing, but may not be suitable for a quantitative estimation, including the sign of cirrus cloud TOA forcing that can readily oscillate around zero globally.
