Shortwave and longwave radiative contributions to global warming under increasing CO2.
In response to increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2, high-end general circulation models (GCMs) simulate an accumulation of energy at the top of the atmosphere not through a reduction in outgoing longwave radiation (OLR)—as one might expect from greenhouse gas forcing—but through an enhancement of net absorbed solar radiation (ASR). A simple linear radiative feedback framework is used t...
متن کاملMultiscale Resolution of Shortwave-Longwave Interaction
In the study of time-dependent waves, it is computationally expensive to solve a problem in which high frequencies (shortwaves, with wavenumber k = kmax) and low frequencies (longwaves, near k = kmin) mix. Consider a problem in which low frequencies scatter off a sharp impurity. The impurity generates high frequencies which propagate and spread throughout the computational domain, while the dom...
متن کاملSeparation of aerosol fine- and coarse-mode radiative properties: Effect on the mineral dust longwave, direct radiative forcing
An improvement of the estimation of mineral dust longwave, direct radiative forcing is presented. It is based on recent developments that combine Sun photometer and multiwavelength lidar data to retrieve range-resolved coarseand fine-mode extinction coefficients. The forcings are calculated separately for each mode, and their sum is compared to the classical approach in which only the total ext...
متن کاملLongwave Radiative Forcing in Global Climate Models
Long wave radiation (LWR) forcing is determined in atmospheric global climate models (AGCMs) by a heating algorithm embedded in the model. These algorithms compute vertical heating rate (HR) profiles from profiles of temperature (T), moisture (Q), clouds, and minor atmospheric constituents; thus the HRs depend on the vertical structure of the input variables plus internal physics. The sensitivi...
متن کاملEffect of crystal size spectrum and crystal shape on stratiform cirrus radiative forcing
Sensitivities of cirrus cloud radiative forcing as well as solar albedo and infrared emittances to ice crystal size spectrum and ice crystal shape were examined using a coupled cloud-radiation model. The singleand bi-modal crystal size distribution were considered and simulated based on field measurements. Optical parameters of ice crystals shaped as hexagonal columns and random Ž . polycrystal...
