Example of Running ES96 Interactively - with AEROSOL, no Cloud
Enter the name of the spectral file.
spectral_220_sca
Enter the base-name of the netCDF files.
aerocom
Enter the spectral region.
Use 1 for shortwave
1
Enter range of active bands.
We're running the 220 band version, so specify this
1 220
Weight the fluxes with a filter function? (y/n)
I believe this is for the purposes of satellite comparisons, so say no
n
Enter process flag.
Enter r for Rayleigh scattering, g for gaseous absorption, c for water vapour continuum, and a to include aerosol
rgca
Enter the treatment of gaseous overlaps.
Use 2 for random overlap
2
Enter cloud scheme.
Enter 5 for no cloud
5
Enter type of angular integration
1
Enter two-stream scheme.
I have used option 2 for Eddington's approximation in the past. Option 16, the 'recommended SW improved flux method' can also be used
2
Enter rescaling flag.
Here we're interested in diffuse as well as total flux, so we switch the rescaling flag OFF. (More about the rescaing flag)
.f.
Enter solver.
I have always used option 1 for a 'pentadiagonal solver for a homogeneous column'
1
Enter treatment of scattering.
I always use the full treatment of scattering, option 1

We're running the 6 band version, so specify this
1 6
I believe this is for the purposes of satellite comparisons, so say no
n
Enter r for Rayleigh scattering, g for gaseous absorption, c for water vapour continuum, and a to include aerosol. For cloud, include d for droplets (and/or presumably i for ice particles). If you exclude d here, you will get error ***Error Clouds are specified but no cloudy proceses are included.
rgcad
Use 2 for random overlap
2
n
Equivalent to -C option in Cl_run_cdf. Enter 2 for Maximum/random overlap in a mixed column.
2
Equivalent to -K option in Cl_run_cdf. Enter 1 for Ice and water mixed homogeneously.
1
Type number must match what's available in spectral file.

Option 16, the 'recommended SW improved flux method' is used
16
Here we're interested in total flux, so we switch the rescaling flag ON. (More about the rescaing flag)
.t.
-v solver for 2-stream calculations - use 11 (recomended for coupled cloud overlap). This only works if clouds are included.
