Satellite instruments provide global maps of surface UV irradiance by combining backscattered radiance measurements
with radiative transfer models.
Comparing our images
with a radiative transfer model we argue that the southern side of the disk is most likely the nearest.
So how does that compare
with the radiative transfer model, which gives a model - derived experimental result of 2xCO2 climate sensitivity of 0.2 °C.
JimD, «There is a thought experiment that can be helped
with a radiative transfer model like Modtran.
Not exact matches
A particular emphasis of Hayward's research is on combining hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation
with radiative transfer calculations to create «forward
models» of observable quantities, such as images and spectra, that can be directly compared
with data from telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
We construct a
radiative transfer model that accounts for the main characteristics of the features
with an inner and outer disk misaligned by ~ 72 degrees.
Combining these new images and photometry
with ancilliary data from the literature, we undertook simultaneous multi-wavelength
modelling of the discs» radial profiles and spectral energy distributions using three different methodologies: single annulus, modified black body, and a
radiative transfer code.
These
models consist of connected sub-modules that deal
with radiative transfer, the circulation of the atmosphere and oceans, the physics of moist convection and cloud formation, sea ice, soil moisture and the like.
I would argue that if we use a simple
radiative model with a variety of assumptions, no upper atmosphere cooling but only warming will occur
with increased CO2 (see # 333), based on the
radiative transfer equations and the Second Law of thermodynamics, but when other complexities are introduced, this might change.
With funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, AER has developed the highly accurate and efficient
radiative transfer code RRTMG for application to global
models.
In these planetary GCMs, we use a relatively simple two - stream
radiative transfer for scattering and absorbing atmospheres,
with assumed diffuse incident of solar radiation at the top of the
model domain.
It only gets worse
with his subsequent (2007, 2010, 2014) publications — all in obscure journals that have no credible reviewing capability for
radiative transfer modeling topics.
Studies have shown that these
radiative transfer models match up
with the observed increase in energy reaching the Earth's surface
with very good accuracy (Puckrin 2004).
This remains to be seen, of course, but it's important to point out that the trospospheric amplification prediction does not originate in the
models but in the basic physics of
radiative transfer in combination
with the Clausius - Clapeyron relationship describing the change in atmospheric water vapor as a function of temperature.
The SASBE could, for example, be used to constrain a
radiative transfer model to provide top - of - the - atmosphere radiances
with traceable uncertainty estimates.
Let me once again illustrate this
with the use of
radiative transfer models to estimate the change in
radiative forcing for a doubling of CO2.

I thought that in the adiabatic case (in order to mirror the atmosphere) there is nil
radiative or conductive heat flow.That is the standard atmosphere
model where conduction is very small compared
with other energy
transfers.
On the other side, Professor Andr e Berger and colleagues developed a mathematical
model of the climate system, rated today as a «
model of intermediate complexity» [6, 7] to solve the dynamics of the atmosphere and ice sheets on a spatial grid of 19 × 5 elements,
with a reasonably extensive treatment of the shortwave and longwave
radiative transfers in the atmosphere.
It's also the case that the results for the
radiative transfer equations will have a certain amount of error using «band
models» compared
with the «line by line» (LBL) codes for all trace gases.
The problem
with these is that no - one has shown that
radiative transfer models are suitable to calculate the
radiative imbalance.
If I were choosing a
model to describe
with as much quantitative fidelity as possible the greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere, then the
model I would choose would be a state - of - the - art convective -
radiative transfer code using the actual composition and empirical absorption / emission lines for the atmospheric constituents.
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).
While it is important to establish reliable GCM it is equal if not more important to make sure that these
models are well integrated
with realistic
radiative transfer models which provide good agreement
with the in going and outgoing
radiative fluxes at the atmosphere.
Although Collins et al. does point out that many of the climate
models radiative transfer codes do not compare well
with the line by line
models for CO2 doubling.
From there via
radiative transfer model and assuming known lapse rate, we'll get to the surface and obtain F = h (R, θ, φ)-RSB-
with h some other function depending on g (note that h, so F depends also on the choice of R e.g the choice where the atmosphere «stops») Last step is just to differentiate F because we need dF in the second integral.
