A Correlated K-Distribution (CKD) tool generates CKD gas-optics models in a number of steps, some which may require human intervention. One of the most interesting parts of the CKDMIP project will be to understand how differences in how each step is performed feed through to differences in the accuracy of fluxes and heating rates. The page is an attempt to gather the necessary information about the CKD tools participating in CKDMIP, specifically:

Computing incoming solar radiation for each shortwave g point: The incoming solar spectral flux is accounted for in computing g as a weighting function of the spectral absorption coefficients.
