I3RC Monte Carlo community model of 3D radiative transfer
With questions and comments, please contact the code's main creator and development coordinator,
Robert Pincus.
The International Comparison of 3-Dimensional Radiative Transfer Codes (I3RC) project has sponsored the development of a community
Monte Carlo code that simulates 3D solar radiative transfer through the atmosphere.
The code can calculate radiative fluxes and radiances (for any view direction) at the top or at the bottom of the domain,
and radiative heating rates throughout the domain. It can provide both scene average values and complete fields.
Users are most welcome to extend the code for other types of calculations.
Here you will find the Bramley release of the "nucleus code."
This release includes the general-purpose radiative transfer solver as well as some tools to create the necessary inputs,
such as cloud droplet scattering properties (calculated using Mie theory). Specific tools for performing I3RC phase 1 calculations are also included.
The code is written in ANSI standard Fortran 95 and has been tested on a range of platforms, though it is rather
hard on compilers. Please see the Readme file for more information.
We're still figuring out how to license this software, but under no circumstances will there be a charge.
