Sentences with phrase «purely radiative models»

Furthermore, this framework embeds more sophisticated explanations than traditional purely radiative models and incorporates effects from feedback processes through dT / dz, response in Z T254K, and the albedo A.
I think that the sensitivity / feedback description is a remain of the early 1D purely radiative models.
Konrad: It has long been understood that convection cools the surface... and that adding convection to a purely radiative model of the atmosphere reduces the greenhouse effect.

Not exact matches

But almost universally, when they try to explain it, they all use the purely radiative approach, which is incorrect, misleading, contrary to observation, and results in a variety of inconsistencies when people try to plug real atmospheric physics into a bad model
[*] You had said: «is based purely on observational evidence, with no dependence on any climate model simulations... to obtain a direct measure of the overall climate response or feedback parameter... Measuring radiative flux imbalances provides a direct measure of Y, and hence of S, unlike other ways of diagnosing climate sensitivity.»
the purely radiative approach, which is incorrect, misleading, contrary to observation, and results in a variety of inconsistencies when people try to plug real atmospheric physics into a bad model
The reason this warms the surface is most easily understood by starting with a simplified model of a purely radiative greenhouse effect that ignores energy transfer in the atmosphere by convection (sensible heat transport) and by the evaporation and condensation of water vapor (latent heat transport).
«Our confidence in our conclusion... is based on the fact that the results of the radiative - convective and heat - balance model studies can be understood in purely physical terms and are verified by the more complex GCM's.
