Popis: The two-stream model is the fastest radiative transfer model among those based on the discrete ordinate method. Although its accuracy is not high enough to be used in applications, the two-stream model gets more attention in computationally demanding tasks such as line-by-line simulations in the gaseous absorption bands. For this reason, we designed the cluster low-streams regression (CLSR) technique, in which a spectrum computed with a two-stream model, is refined by using statistical dependencies between two- and multistream radiative transfer models. In this paper, we examine the efficiency of this approach for computing Hartley-Huggins, O2 A-, water vapour and CO2 bands at the presence of aerosols. The numerical results evidence that the errors of the CLSR method is not biased and around 0.05 %, while the performance enhancement is two orders of magnitude.
