Abstract
The upward and downward fluxes of solar and thermal radiation are simulated for the meteorological conditions typical for midlatitude summer. The atmospheric radiative balance due to cirrus cloudiness with different depth is assessed. The sensitivity of the radiative forcing to models of water vapor continual absorption is estimated.
