-Since r1585 PALM can be used in combination with the [http://rtweb.aer.com/rrtm_frame.html Rapid Radiation Transfer Model for Global Models (RRTMG)] radiation code (see e.g. [#clough Clough et al. 2005]). RRTMG source code is shipped along with PALM, but it is not part of the model (this means that RRTMG is put under a difference licence than PALM, which e.g. forbids reselling of the code). Unlike most embedded modules in PALM, the RRTMG is thus used as external library and linked to the default PALM code. This in turn means that RRTMG must be installed in advance on the host where PALM shall be executed. The next section explains the installation of RRTMG and how to use it in PALM. Please note that RRTMG requires to use the netCDF data format.

Also note that the orbital settings are calculated as in the simple clear sky radiation model.
