The Maximal Runaway Temperature of Earth-like Planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We generalize the problem of the semi-gray model to cases in which a non-negligible fraction of the stellar radiation falls on the long-wavelength range, and/or that the planetary long-wavelength emission penetrates into the transparent short wavelength ...

Clouds in the atmospheres of extrasolar planets. IV. On the scattering greenhouse effect of CO2 ice particles: Numerical radiative transfer studies

open access: yes, 2013
Owing to their wavelengths dependent absorption and scattering properties, clouds have a strong impact on the climate of planetary atmospheres. Especially, the potential greenhouse effect of CO2 ice clouds in the atmospheres of terrestrial extrasolar ...

Greenhouse Effect in the Classroom: A Project- and Laboratory-Based Curriculum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
This article describes a multifaceted curriculum for use in earth science classes from secondary school to undergraduate level. The centerpiece of the curriculum is a project-based investigation of greenhouse warming that can be conducted during one or ...

The tipping times in an Arctic sea ice system under influence of extreme events

open access: yes, 2020
In light of the rapid recent retreat of Arctic sea ice, the extreme weather events triggering the variability in Arctic ice cover has drawn increasing attention.

Light-induced disassembly of dusty bodies in inner protoplanetary discs: implications for the formation of planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Laboratory experiments show that a solid-state greenhouse effect in combination with thermophoresis can efficiently erode a dust bed in a low-pressure gaseous environment.

Greenhouse effect due to atmospheric nitrous oxide [PDF]

open access: yes, 1976
The greenhouse effect due to nitrous oxide in the present atmosphere is about 0.8°K. Increase in atmospheric N_2O due to perturbation of the nitrogen cycle by man may lead to an increase in surface temperature as large as 0.5°K by 2025, or 1.0°K by 2100.

Global climate change : greenhouse effect [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
One of the main problems caused by climate change is the greenhouse effect. Human activities emit so-called greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide which is produced through fossil fuel burning.

Policy and Environmental Implications of Photovoltaic Systems in Farming in Southeast Spain: Can Greenhouses Reduce the Greenhouse Effect? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have grown in popularity in the farming sector, primarily because land area and farm structures themselves, such as greenhouses, can be exploited for this purpose, and, moreover, because farms tend to be located in rural ...

A model for regional analysis of carbon sequestration and timber production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The greenhouse effect is one of our most severe current environmental problems. Forests make up large ecosystems and can play an important role in mitigating the emissions of CO2, the most important greenhouse gas. Different management regimes affect the

Pareto Optimality in the Extraction of Fossil Fuels and the Greenhouse Effect: A Note [PDF]

open access: yes
This note generalizes the Solow-Stiglitz efficiency condition for natural resources to the problem of fossil fuel extraction with a greenhouse effect. The generalized optimality condition suggests that the greenhouse effect implies overextraction in the ...
