I am looking for SBDART model , either online or offline. The online model I found
https://paulschou.com/tools/sbdart/
doesn't seem to work , and the MATLAB code i got from here shows error. Any other source for the model ?
Hi Mr.Belarbi,
Clicking on SBDART on that page redirects to this page
http://www.ncgia.ucsb.edu/projects/metadata/standard/uses/sbdart.htm
where I don't think any of the links work. Also it is more a description of the model. Any other link or source ?
Thank you
Thanks Alexander. I had already seen this link. But wasn't able to run it. Warning to others , SBDART is almost impossible to run in WIndows. Learnt it the hard way.
Unfortunately the online model and MATLAB model don't work
SBDART has ceased to be maintained many years ago, unfortunately. I still keep two old versions that might be useful to you, v2.4 (Fortran) and a 2007 Matlab implementation.
Let me know how this works for you...
I have the MATLAB version too ! And it doesn't work. The fortran version works only on Ubuntu and that took me some time to understand.
I tried using SBDART years ago and had trouble with it. I started using TUV instead; it has been very reliable and is updated occasionally. It's in Fortran and I've been able to make modifications to suit my needs.
You can download the source and there is also a "quick" version that runs in a browser, just not as full-featured.

If anyone has questions on the model I'm happy to try and help.
To complement what Brian says, I can add that libRadtran is also a tool of choice, with a lot of publications based on it, and regular updates.

This is true Chris and I can really recommend this package but I guess that you will run into severe trouble, trying it under windows.
That's a good point, Ronald. I run TUV on a linux machine, but in principle one should be able to compile on Windows as well.
It seems that the researcher who programmed SBDART have uploaded (and updated) the code a few months ago in github https://github.com/paulricchiazzi/SBDART
Did you get the working SBDART code? I have the code for linux application. One needs to be careful with the fortran compiler version because of optimization issues. Alternately, you can always use libRadtran as it is easily available.
Hope this helps,
Madhavan
Hi Sir Bomidi Lakshmi Madhavan
Can you please share the linux code for SBDART model. I'm learning the model and i find difficulty in understanding it.
@Bomidi Lakshmi Madhavan - pls sir, I'm working on aerosol retrieval from satellite data, and I don't know which Radiative transfer code will be easy and free to use for the simulation of aerosol from either MODIS or Landsat data
Samuel Akinnusi - Better to start with 6S or 6SV codes.
You can check the following links:

https://artmotoolbox.com/radiative-transfer-models/atmospheric-rtms.html
Python interface of 6S is available at https://py6s.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Thank you very much Bomidi Lakshmi Madhavan . If I have any issues i will let you know
Bomidi Lakshmi Madhavan I've been trying to generate the LUT with the ALG software but it's not loading at all. I have followed every steps in the user manual but still no result. Whenever I click on generate LUT, this is what I get (see the attached Image).
Pls what can i do to get result?
Samuel Akinnusi - I am not aware of ALG software for generating LUT. Maybe others can support you.
Pls, I need assistance. How do I generate sensor view angle for Landsat 8?
Does the angle varies with different Landsat 8 bands?
