Historical Perspective (3) ICRCCM-III SW: (Barker et al. 2003) - Interpretation and handling of unresolved clouds - CSRM domains; benchmarks set by 3D MC codes -Compares 3D with PPH and ICA -Overall message : standard assumptions are often inadequate and no 1D single method is adequate for all.
Historical Perspective (4) ICRCCM-III LW: (IRC; Ellingson et al., ongoing) - Interpretation and handling of unresolved clouds -CSRM domains; benchmarks set by a 3D MC code -Compares 3D with PPH and ICA Overall message : TBD; So far, proven the inadequacy of standard overlap assumptions solid: ICA dashed: MRO dotted: RO
