Statistical results from 2.8 million pairs of broadband shortwave and longwave radiance measurements were used to develop reflectance and emittance models for low, middle, and high water clouds and high ice clouds. The reflectance model was a function of the sum and product of the cosine of solar and viewing zenith angles, and the emittance model was related by a power law of the cosine of the viewing zenith angle.
