-In addition to these radiation models, a Radiative Transfer Model (RTM) is implemented in PALM to describe the radiative transfer processes within the urban canopy layer, including multiple reflections between buildings and other surfaces located in the domain. The model treats direct and diffuse radiation separately.

 All parts of the radiation code (and the interface of the radiation code) are modularized in module radiation_model_mod. In this context, a new Fortran NAMELIST radiation_parameters was added, containing all radiation-related steering parameters. The radiation module is automatically activated if a radiation_parameters is set in the parameter file (_p3d).
