Abstract. libRadtran is a widely used software package for radiative transfer calculations. It allows to compute (polarized) radiances, irradiances, and actinic fluxes in the solar and thermal spectral regions. libRadtran has been used for various applications, including remote sensing of clouds, aerosols and trace gases in the Earth's atmosphere, climate studies, e.g., for the calculation of radiative forcing due to different atmospheric components, for UV-forcasting, the calculation of photolysis frequencies, and for remote sensing of other planets in our solar system. The package has been described in Mayer and Kylling (2005).. Since then several new features have been included, for example polarization, Raman scattering, a new molecular gas absorption parameterization, and several new cloud and aerosol scattering parameterizations. Furthermore a graphical user interface is now available which greatly simplifies the usage of the model, especially for new users. This paper gives an overview of libRadtran version 2.0 with focus on new features. A complete description of libRadtran and all its input options is given in the user manual included in the libRadtran software package, which is freely available at http://www.libradtran.org.

Furthermore, a graphical user interface is now available, which greatly simplifies the usage of the model, especially for new users. This paper gives an overview of libRadtran version 2.0.1 with a focus on new features. Applications including these new features are provided as examples of use.

The effect of molecular gas radiation upon the thermal development downstream from a step change in wall temperature is examined for both laminar and turbulent flow in a black-walled flat-plate duct. The exponential-tailed band model is used to represent spectral variations in gas absorption and emission. Values of total and radiative Nusselt numbers, cold-wall-layer transmission factors, and dimensionless bulk temperatures are reported for several dimensionless axial locations and for various sets of the dimension-less controlling parameters. Even in the entrance region, self absorption by wall layer gas blocks significantly the radiation exchange between the gas core and wall. An approximate correlation is proposed for both plane-duct and pipe turbulent entrance flows.

Radiative heat transfer in an isotropically scattering and nongray absorbing planar medium is investigated. General wide-band absorption quantities, including the effects of gray absorption and scattering by the scattering components and nongray absorption by the gaseous components, are considered. Analysis for the reflection, transmission, and emission from isothermal layers is presented. Numerical calculations are presented for the wide-band absorption quantities in the high-pressure limit. The effects of the scattering and absorption properties on the wide band absorption quantities are discussed.
