DISAZM

Azimuth dependence scattering

Description

The variable DISAZM allows the user to include the scattering azimuth dependence used with DISORT. Set DISAZM=T to include azimuth dependence in the line-of-sight multiple scatter solar. Since this option increases computation time, set DISAZM=F (default value) if only vertical fluxes are needed, if solar or viewing zenith angle is near vertical, or if solar multiple scattering is a small radiance component (e.g., for wavelengths above ~8 μm).
