Dear all,
I am investigating the canopy radiative transfer simulations in CLM3. For that purpose, I would like to be able to illuminate in one go the entire globe.
Indeed, it seems CLM is only calculating radiative transfer for PFTs whose Sun zenith angle is positive (during the day). Thus, in order to check the routines over all implemented PFTs, I need to repeat my tests on various gmt time to ensure that illumination is everywhere at least once.
Isn't there a way to create a synthetic input data set for which the whole globe is illuminated in one run? Or should I enter the CLM code itself and de-activate the test for positive Sun zenith angle? Any other idea on how to perform such a global illumination?
Thanks
Thomas
