Equilibrium atmospheres of a two-column radiative-convective model
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1999AbstractInteraction between steady, large‐scale atmospheric circulations and a radiative‐convective environment is considered. As a model tool, we use a two‐column radiative‐convective model with an explicit hydrological cycle that uses clear‐sky conditions in the radiation calculation.

Radiative-convective equilibrium models of Jupiter and Saturn
Icarus, 1984Radiative-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.

Radiative-Convective Equilibrium Revisited: the Greenhouse Effect of Clouds
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009A 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 ...

Sensitivity of Radiative–Convective Equilibrium Simulations to Horizontal Resolution
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2006Abstract This paper investigates the impacts of horizontal resolution on the statistical behavior of convection. An idealized radiative–convective equilibrium is simulated for model resolutions ranging between 2 and 50 km. The simulations are compared based upon the analysis of the mean state, the energy and water vapor transport, and ...

Cloudiness and the Radiative, Convective Equilibrium
1970The 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.

The Role of Relative Humidity in Radiative–Convective Equilibrium
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2005AbstractThe 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 ...

An Efficient Numerical Approach to Radiative–Convective Equilibrium
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1977Abstract An efficient method for computing the radiative–convective equilibrium temperature profile of a vertical–column atmospheric model is described. The equations which specify the equilibrium conditions are linearized to form a matrix equation in which the net radiative heating at levels within regions of radiative equilibrium and the net ...

AbstractThe impacts of enhanced aerosol concentrations such as those associated with dust intrusions on the trimodal distribution of tropical convection have been investigated through the use of large-domain (10 000 grid points), fine-resolution (1 km), long-duration (100 days), two-dimensional idealized cloud-resolving model simulations conducted ...

<p><span>We present results of radiative convective equilibrium runs using the WRF model coupled to an interactive slab ocean model, for which a relaxation term removes energy to constrain the domain mean sea surface temperature to a target value over a given timescale.

AbstractThe radiative constraints on the partitioning of the surface energy budget and, hence, on the strength of the hydrological cycle are analyzed in an idealized one-dimensional radiative–convective equilibrium model formulated in terms of the energy budgets at the top of the atmosphere, the subcloud layer, and the free atmosphere, which enables it
