Hello everyone,
I just started to work with SBDART Radiative Transfer Code. I have downloaded the source files (FORTRAN) on my LINUX machine and compiled it. After that I ran the model for a given INPUT (from examples file).However, results generated from my run are different from those given in example output (for same INPUT). Could anybody explain why I am getting different results? Does SBDART calculation depends on machine?
Hi Jana,
You are absolutely right. :)
Let me explain the origin and solution of my problem.
Actually, SBDART is FORTRAN based code, and I was running (INPUT & OUTPUT) it through MATLAB code. A bug in my MATLAB code related to INPUT parameters arises this problem.

Did you also compare it with the on-line demo? Worked with that myself to compare with MODTRAN
Hello Harry,
I did not compare it with on-line version. Will look for that and will update soon.
Well, I do not know. I tried updating my Java version.
I can not obtain any graph with this page:
https://paulschou.com/tools/sbdart/
And when I ask for Display data it refers me to
https://paulschou.com/tools/sbdart/data.php?
and it not possible to access
Or what page I have to use? Someone has the source of SBDART?
yes! I used google chrome an it did not loaded the paga, then changed to Mozilla and it loaded.
Maybe , should I run it on linux?
It's probably not related to the platform (Linux), but there might be differences in Fortran compilers.
Unfortunately, the developer of SBDART has lost his job many years ago, so the code is not supported and should be considered antiquated.
