COART (Coupled Ocean-Atmospheric Radiative Transfer code) - COART is established on the Coupled DIScrete Ordinate Radiative Transfer (Coupled DISORT or CDISORT) code,{{Cite journal|url=http://www.opticsinfobase.org/ao/abstract.cfm?URI=ao-45-28-7443|doi=10.1364/AO.45.007443|title=Analytical solution of radiative transfer in the coupled atmosphere-ocean system with a rough surface|year=2006|last1=Jin|first1=Zhonghai|last2=Charlock|first2=Thomas P.|last3=Rutledge|first3=Ken|last4=Stamnes|first4=Knut|last5=Wang|first5=Yingjian|journal=Applied Optics|volume=45|issue=28|pages=7443–7455|pmid=16983433|bibcode=2006ApOpt..45.7443J|hdl=2060/20080015519|hdl-access=free}} developed from DISORT. It is designed to simulate radiance (including water-leaving radiance) and irradiance (flux) at any levels in the atmosphere and ocean consistently.
