Simple models for Earth's climate sensitivity (i.e. its temperature response to radiative forcing) are developed by combining the time-tested idealization of one-dimensional radiative-convective equilibrium (RCE) with simple yet quantitatively reasonable CO2 forcing and water vapor feedback. Along way, we introduce key paradigms including emission level approximation, forcing-feedback decomposi...

In this paper, we study the inertial and gravity wave transmissions near radiative-convective boundaries in {\it f}-plane. Two configurations have been considered: waves propagate from convective layer to radiative stratified stable layer, or on other way around. It has found that prefer survive at low latitudes when is strongly ($N^2/(2\Omega)^2>1$). When weakly ($N^2/(2\Omega)^2<1$), however,...
