• Figure 1: Annual climatology downward solar radiative flux at the surface. The upper panel is from Bishop-Rossow calculation, and the lower panel is the difference between our results by using analytical coefficents for each cloud type and Bishop-Rossow's. The r.m.s. of the difference is 5.9 w/m**2 and the absolute value of the difference (no square) is 4.6 w/m**2.
• Figure 2: Annual climatology downward solar radiative flux at the surface. The x-axis is Bishop-Rossow results and the y-axis is our results (the same data as Fig. 1).
