可靠地表示水平云不均匀性和垂直云重叠对于大气环流模式的辐射收支是至关重要的。在这里，我们在这篇由两部分组成的论文的第一部分的工作的基础上，通过应用一对参数化来解释全球再分析数据的水平不均匀性和垂直重叠。这两个应用在一起，并分别在试图量化的两个组件的代表性差的辐射预算的影响。
Reliably representing both horizontal cloud inhomogeneity and vertical cloud overlap is fundamentally important for the radiation budget of a general circulation model. Here, we build on the work of Part I of this two‐part paper by applying a pair of parametrizations that account for horizontal inhomogeneity and vertical overlap to global re‐analysis data. These are applied both together and separately in an attempt to quantify the effects of poor representation of the two components on radiation budget.
