dc.description.abstractWe report a new publicly available radiative transfer (RT) code for numerical simulation of polarized light scattering in plane-parallel Earth atmosphere. Using 44 benchmark tests, we prove high accuracy of the new RT code, SORD (Successive ORDers of scattering¹,²). We describe capabilities of SORD and show run time for each test on two different machines. At present, SORD is supposed to work as part of the Aerosol Robotic NETwork³ (AERONET) inversion algorithm. For natural integration with the AERONET software, SORD is coded in Fortran 90/95. The code is available by email request from the corresponding (first) author or from ftp://climate1.gsfc.nasa.gov/skorkin/SORD/ or ftp://maiac.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/SORD.zip
dc.description.sponsorshipThis research is supported by the NASA ROSES-14 program “Remote Sensing Theory for Earth Science” managed by Dr. Lucia Tsaoussi, grant number NNX15AQ23G. We are also thankful to Drs. Pavel Litvinov and Oleg Dubovik for making the successive orders of scattering RT code available to us. Their code is based on13 with modification and optimization for aerosol/surface retrieval with GRASP algorithm.
