Area of Science:

  • Atmospheric Physics
  • Radiative Transfer Theory
  • Computational Science

Background:

  • The discrete-ordinate method (DOM) is crucial for solving radiative transfer equations in atmospheric models.
  • Existing DOM implementations face challenges with arbitrary source functions and computational efficiency.
  • Numerical instabilities, such as division by zero, can occur at specific source-quadrature point alignments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present novel methods for deriving particular solutions in DOM for plane-parallel atmospheres.
  • To enhance the computational speed of solving the transfer equation for various atmospheric sources.
  • To address and eliminate numerical issues in DOM calculations.

Main Methods:

  • Development of two distinct methods for deriving particular solutions of the DOM.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved 12-18% faster solutions for single beam sources and even greater speedups for atmospheric thermal emission.
    • Successfully removed the division by zero problem encountered when beam sources align with Gaussian quadrature points.
    • Enabled simultaneous solutions for multiple sources, with each additional source requiring only 1.3-3.6% of the full solution CPU time.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented methods significantly improve the efficiency and robustness of the discrete-ordinate method for atmospheric radiative transfer.
    • The revised GDOM code offers a powerful tool for simultaneous computation of Green's function and DOM solutions.
    • This work provides a more computationally tractable approach for complex atmospheric radiation simulations.
