In this thesis a novel approach to compare airborne observations of spectral upward and downward irradiances with along-track radiative transfer simulations (RTS) are presented. The RTS are performed with the ecRad radiation scheme of the Integrated Forecast System (IFS) operated by the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) and the library for Radiative transfer (libRadtran) on basis of hourly 0.1° IFS analysis data (IFS AD). The comparison aims to investigate the general capability of the utilized models to reproduce the observed radiation field. Simultaneous utilization of ecRad and libRadtran, driven by the same IFS AD, and comparison with observations enables to separate for potential errors in the applied IFS AD and ecRad.
