Here are two worked examples showing the calculation of fluxes from atmospheric state. The first demonstrate the calculation of clear-sky fluxes using conditions provided by the Radiative Forcing Model Intercomparison Project as described in Pincus et al. (2020). The second generates profiles in Radiative-Convective Equillibrium following Wing et al. (2018). Clouds with fixed physical properties are introduced into 2/3 of the columns.
