5 | | In PALM, the radiative interactions within urban canopy are solved by the separate Radiative transfer model (RTM, see [#krc2021 Krč et al., 2021]), which provides explicit 3-D modelling of multi-reflective radiative exchange among the sun, the sky, urban surfaces and resolved plant canopy. The RTM calculates radiative fluxes and surface net radiation including its components on the model geometry, which are then used to model the surface energy balance and evapotranspiration in the plant canopy. It also provides radiative inputs for the [wiki:doc/tec/biomet Biometeorology module (BIO)] and for photolysis in the [wiki:doc/tec/chem Chemistry model (CHEM)]. The RTM is coupled to the selected [wiki:doc/tec/radiation Radiation model], e.g. RRTMG, which provides radiation above the urban canopy as an input. |
