Ramaswamy, V., and S. M. Freidenreich, 1997: Absorption of solar radiation in overcast atmospheres. In IRS '96: Current Problems in Atmospheric Radiation, Proceedings of the International Radiation Symposium, Fairbanks, Alaska, 19-24 August 1996. Hampton, Virginia: Deepak Publishing, 125-127.

Abstract: Using the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) line-by-line plus doubling-adding (LBL + DA) algorithm, we investigate the absorption of solar radiation in the near-infrared spectrum in overcast atmospheres containing water vapor and water drops. We compare the results with that for water vapor absorption only, and examine the quantitative dependence of the absorption on the drop optical depth and vertical location of the cloud.
