Purpose:    The Intercomparison of Radiation Codes in Climate Models
            produced benchmark longwave line-by-line (LBL) fluxes that
            may be compared against each other and against models of
            lower spectral resolution.  This archive contains fluxes
            for ICRCCM-prescribed clear-sky cases.  Fluxes are summed
            for the IR spectrum and given at 5 or 10 wavenumber (cm-1)
            intervals for comparison with other models.  Specified
            atmospheric profiles for temperature, water vapor, and
            ozone mixing ratios are given with radiative flux and
            cooling rate profile results.
