| rlut | TOA Outgoing Longwave Radiation | FSNTOA, FSNT, FLNT | rlut = FSNTOA - FSNT + FLNT | Note: equation originally from NCAR. Using this ensures that individual TOA terms (SW, LW, up/down) are consistent with TOM net flux (rtmt): rtmt = rsdt - rsut - rlut | |
| rlutcs | TOA Outgoing Clear-Sky Longwave Radiation | FLUTC | rlutcs = FLUTC | Note: slight approximation here since we are using TOM, but NCAR does the same. | |
