Radiative-Convective Equilibrium Revisited: the Greenhouse Effect of Clouds

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009
A parameterized spectral radiative-convective equilibrium model is built, and the heating rates and temperature profiles for various absorbers are calculated and compared with the results of a classical model. Then, using an optical depth that is dependent on both the extinction coefficient and the cloud-water path, the validity of the black-cloud ...

Manabe’s Radiative–Convective Equilibrium

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2022
Abstract Syukoro (Suki) Manabe’s Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded largely for his early work on one-dimensional models of “radiative–convective equilibrium” (RCE), which produced the first credible estimates of Earth’s climate sensitivity. This article reviews that work and tries to identify those aspects that make it so distinctive.

Radiative–Convective Feedbacks in Idealized States of Radiative–Convective Equilibrium

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2008
AbstractThis paper examines feedbacks between the radiative heating of clouds and convection in the context of numerical radiative–convective equilibrium experiments conducted using both 2D and 3D versions of a cloud-resolving model. The experiments are conducted on a large domain, and equilibria develop as juxtaposed regions of dry and moist air that ...

Radiative feedbacks in a 1D radiative-convective equilibrium model

2020
<p><span>Equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS), the change in surface temperature in response to a doubling of atmospheric CO2, is arguably one of the most important quantities when discussing climate change. Despite major improvements in climate modelling over the last decades, ECS estimates lie within a rather ...

Radiative-Convective Equilibrium with Explicit Two-Dimensional Moist Convection

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1993
Abstract Radiative-convective statistical equilibria are obtained using a two-dimensional model in which radiative transfer is interactive with the predicted moisture and cloud fields. The domain is periodic in x, with a width of 640 km, and extends from the ground to 26 km. The lower boundary is a fixed-temperature water-saturated surface.

The Role of Relative Humidity in Radiative–Convective Equilibrium

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2005
AbstractThe following conditions are derived for the existence of a radiation limit of tropospheric origin in a nongray atmosphere, extending the work on a gray atmosphere by Nakajima et al.: 1) the atmosphere must become sufficiently optically thick, and 2) the temperature must become only a function of optical depth at each frequency, independent of ...

Radiative-convective equilibrium models of Jupiter and Saturn

Icarus, 1984
Radiative-convective equilibrium models for Jupiter and Saturn have been produced in a study concentrating on the stratospheric energy balance and the possible role of aerosol heating. These models are compared directly with the thermal structure profiles obtained from Voyager radio occultation measurements.

Cloudiness and the Radiative, Convective Equilibrium

1970
The dependence of the temperature of the earth’s surface upon the cloud cover at various altitudes is estimated. The effect of contrail on the surface temperature is discussed.
