Appendix C List of Variables used in Modelling – Table 2 Weather Model Variables [26] – Symbol Variable Description The intensity of solar irradiation Irradiance directly outside the Earth’s atmosphere on a horizontal surface. This is a constant given in the paper for different wavelengths. Transmittance Scattering of for Rayleigh light due to S&A particles much smaller than the wavelength of light. These particles may be molecules or atoms. Transmittance Attenuation of for aerosol electromagnetic S&A radiation due to aerosols. Aerosols are small particles suspended in the air and may include dust, droplets of salt water and greenhouse gases. Transmittance Scattering and for Water Absorption due Vapour S&A to water vapour in the atmosphere. Transmittance Attenuation of for Ozone caused by S&A the ozone layer of the atmosphere. The ozone layer is formed of molecules
