The Twentymile River is a river near the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska.[1] It rises in a remote valley from meltwater of several small glaciers on Whitecrown in the Chugach Mountains and flows out into a large, wide valley where it receives the water of the Moraine and Glacier rivers. Eventually, the river empties into Turnagain Arm after flowing 17 miles (27 km) [2][3] to a broad marshy delta alongside the deltas of Portage Creek and the Placer River.[4] Contrary to popular belief, the source of the river is not Twentymile Glacier.[5]

This river is known locally for its large runs of smelt (hooligan) every summer during the month of May. Many people from Anchorage go there to dipnet for them. It also has some small salmon runs.

Simple Model of the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer of Sunshine

The Simple Model of the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer of Sunshine (SMARTS) is a computer program designed to evaluate the surface solar irradiance components in the shortwave spectrum (spectral range 280 to 4000 nm) under cloudless conditions. The program, written in FORTRAN, relies on simplifications of the equation of radiative transfer to allow extremely fast calculations of the surface irradiance. The irradiance components can be incident on a horizontal, a fixed-tilt or a 2-axis tr...
