Wang, W.-C., 1976: A parameterization for the absorption of solar radiation by water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere. J. Appl. Meteorol., 15, 21-27, doi:10.1175/1520-0450(1976)015<0021:APFTAO>2.0.CO;2.
A parameterization for the absorption of solar radiation as a function of the amount of water vapor in the earth's atmosphere is obtained. Absorption computations are based on the Goody band model and the near-infrared absorption band data of Ludwig et al. A two-parameter Curtis-Godson approximation is used to treat the inhomogeneous atmosphere. Heating rates based on a frequently used one-parameter pressure-scaling approximation are also discussed and compared with the present parameterization.
