The influence of multi-dimensional radiative transfer on the evolution and radiative properties of tropical convective clouds

This study investigates the role of multi-dimensional (MD) solar radiation on the cloud radiative properties and cloud evolution for convective clouds using the UK Met Office Large Eddy Model (LEM) with an interactively coupled Monte Carlo (MC) radiation model. Simulations are performed with the MC...
