384 | | External radiative input of short- and longwave downwelling radiation is used, which can be taken from observations or mesoscale models. Further information concerning external radiation input via the dynamic input file can be found [../iofiles/pids/dynamic#rad_lw_in here]. Note, in case of a nested run each child model will read the radiation input either from its own dynamic input file, or, in case a dynamic input file is not available for each of the child models, it will be read from the dynamic input file for the root model. |

| 386 | External radiation input can be provided as level-of-detail = 1 (radiation depends only on time and is horizontally homogeneous) or as level-of-detail = 2 (radiation depends on time, y, x and can be horizontally heterogeneous). Please note, at the moment level-of-detail = 2 is not possible in combination with buildings or complex orography where surface reflections occur. |
