The objective of the FLXHR algorithm is to make use of liquid and ice water content estimates to produce broadband fluxes and heating rates for each radar profile. For a particular provide, upwelling and downwelling longwave and shortwave flux profiles are calculated at discrete levels of the atmosphere. Corresponding heating rates are inferred from these fluxes. In order to perform these calculations, the algorithm makes use of a combination of atmospheric stat variables obtained from ECMWF reanalysis data, profiles f cloud ice and liquid water content obtained from the CloudSat LWC and IWC products, and surface albedos obtained from seasonally-varying maps of surface reflectance properties.
