Sentences with phrase «achieves radiative balance»

T represents the amount of energy available from all sources to maintain the constant flow that keeps the atmosphere off the surface AND achieves radiative balance at the top of the atmosphere.

The gas constant therefore sets the volume of atmosphere needed to leave the surface temperature at the level required to both support the atmosphere AND achieve radiative balance at the top of the atmosphere.

Not exact matches

But the overall level of the temperature plot in all planets is anchored by the weighted mean effect of the key absorbing layers, usually in the stratosphere and upper troposphere, where radiative balance with insolation is achieved.

We perform simulations of future Earth climate by running our baseline model for various (increasing) values of the solar constant until radiative balance is achieved.

As described, the whole temperature profile gives rise to the radiative transport, which gives rise to the heating at ground level, which gradually raises the whole temperature profile (via convection) until radiative balance is achieved.

So how on Earth would radiative balance with the Sun be achieved in both situations?

The Earth reacts to positive radiative forcing by warming up until a new balance is achieved at a higher temperature.

And radiative balance at the surface won't be achieved by a change in temperature at the surface of 0.0005 K.
