Short summary
The current instruments being used for weather forecasting and climate require accurate radiative transfer codes to process the acquired data. In addition the codes are becoming more realistic, as they can now account for the effects of cloud and aerosols, rather than only simulating radiances for a clear sky. We describe a fast, accurate, and general purpose code that we have developed to help model data from these instruments.
