Shortwave Radiation

Coefficients of Table 2 in Zeng et al. [2] are calculated by a simplified shortwave radiation scheme modified from the Fu-Liou [23] shortwave radiation scheme, and the reference profile is Tqo3.ref. One can use a command run coef.sh, and the coefficients will be in sw-coef.dat. The Fu-Liou scheme (sw.f) is also included. With radiative flux data files, fsw.dat and fswd.dat, there is no need to re-run the Fu-Liou shortwave radiation scheme which often takes some time to run unless cloud optical properties have been changed.
