Dear RegCM users,

i am trying to understand how the short wave radiation is treated in BATS and I am bit lost in the naming convention:

as far as I understand it well

swd0(from lm%swdir) - SW direct downward radiation
swf0(from lm%swdif) - SW diffuse downward radiation
swsi (from lm%solar) - SW total downward radiation

swflx (from lm%rswf) - net downward SW radiation
however, printing out the values (from a certain subgrid point and time) in mod_bats_bndry I have got values that makes me more wondering (in W/m2):

swsi = 372.30

swd0, swf0 = 426.24, 36.60 (sum is not swsi !)

swflx = 809.88 (the net SW radiation is much more than the incident one?)

Any clarification for this?I would be very appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance

Peter Huszar
