The Rapid Radiative Transfer Model (RRTMG).

This module wraps RRTMG for shortwave radiation (i.e, emission from the sun).

Methods

Name	Description
array_call	Get heating tendencies and shortwave fluxes.

array_call

RRTMGShortwave.array_call(state)

Get heating tendencies and shortwave fluxes.

Args:

state (dict):
    The model state dictionary.

Returns:

tendencies (dict), diagnostics (dict):

    * The shortwave heating tendency.
    * The upward/downward shortwave fluxes for cloudy and clear
      sky conditions.
