Iy. Grinkevich et Vi. Fomichev, COMPARISON OF RADIATIVE COOLING PARAMETER IZATIONS FOR THE STRATOSPHERE AND MESOSPHERE, Izvestia Akademii nauk. Rossijskaa akademia nauk. Fizika atmosfery iokeana, 29(3), 1993, pp. 359-363
Comparison of an accuracy and computational efficiency has been carrie
d out for several parameterizations of the radiative cooling in the st
ratosphere and the mesosphere in both the 15 mum CO2 and the 9.6 mum O
3 bands. As a result, specific parametrizations are recommended to be
used in numerical models of the middle atmospheric dynamics and compos
ition.
