Abstract

Based on relationships between cloud microphysical and optical properties, three different parameterization schemes for narrow and broad band optical properties in longwave region for water clouds have been presented. The effects of different parameterization schemes and different number of broad bands used on cloud radiative properties have been investigated. The effect of scattering role of cloud drops on longwave radiation fluxes and cooling rates in cloudy atmospheres has also been analyzed.
