The quantification of aerosol direct radiative effects (ADREs) under clear sky conditions is essential for understanding the influence of aerosols on climate. This paper introduces a novel approach, the non-uniform five-dimensional lookup table (NU-5D-LUT) method, for calculating the ADREs under clear sky conditions. The NU-5D-LUT method considers key parameters such as aerosol optical thickness, single scattering albedo, asymmetry factor, surface albedo, and solar zenith angle. Validation against the SBDART model shows strong agreement, with correlation coefficients of 0.97 and 0.99 for TOA and BOA ADREs, respectively. Global comparisons demonstrate consistent ADRE distributions, with relative errors below 5.8% for TOA ADRE and 4.4% for BOA ADRE. The NU-5D-LUT method significantly reduces computation time, offering a practical solution for large-scale simulations and climate model evaluations in aerosol research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
