Abstract:

Simple and effective cloud parameterization is suggested which makes it possible to calculate solar radiation fluxes and photodissociation rates at given cloud optical depth (τ_C ≥8)or cloud albedo by means of any two-stream method. The flux and photolysis rate variations in post-volcanic period and in presence of cloud are evaluated for the wide range of solar zenith angles, cloud and surface albedo.
