Measurement/Model
comparison for high water case from the
ARM
Southern Great
Plains Climate Research Facility (SGP) .
The top panel is the
downwelling
radiance at the surface measured by the AERI
instrument (U. of Wisconsin).
The bottom three panels
are
residual
plots (AERI-LBLRTM)
for
(a) LBLRTM v. 6.01 (CKD 2.4.1 with the HITRAN96
spectral line parameters),
(b) LBLRTM v12.6 (MT_CKD_3.0 continuum
with
the aer_v_3.5
spectral line parameters), and
(c) same as plot (b)
except that
the nominal HCOOH
profile is increased by a factor of 9.

The foundation of our research
and model development is the validation of line-by-line radiative
transfer
calculations with accurate high-resolution measurements.
