The article compares different models used in weather forecasting to see how well they predict the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface when there are clouds in the sky. The researchers found that the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model (RRTM) accurately estimates the sunlight levels under cloudy conditions, matching the results from other radiation models. This study helps improve the accuracy of weather prediction models by ensuring they can account for the impact of clouds on sunlight reaching the Earth.
