| The surface of the [[Sun]] radiates [[Electromagnetic radiation|light and heat]] at approximately 5,500 °C. The [[Earth]] is much cooler and so radiates heat back away from itself at much longer wavelengths, mostly in the [[infrared]] range. The '''idealized greenhouse model''' is based on the fact that certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere, including [[carbon dioxide]] and [[water vapour]], are transparent to the high-frequency, high-energy solar radiation, but are much more opaque to the lower frequency infrared radiation leaving the surface of the earth. Thus heat is easily let ''in'', but is partially trapped by these gases as it tries to ''leave''. Rather than get hotter and hotter, [[Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation]] says that the gases of the atmosphere also have to re-emit the infrared energy that they absorb, and they do so, also at long infrared wavelengths, both upwards into space as well as downwards back towards the Earth's surface. In the long-term, thermal equilibrium is reached when all the heat energy arriving on the planet is leaving again at the same rate. In this idealized model, the greenhouse gases cause the surface of the planet to be warmer than it would be without them, in order for the required amount of heat energy finally to be radiated out into space from the top of the atmosphere.<ref>{{cite web

| The [[greenhouse effect]] can be illustrated with an idealized planet. This is a common "textbook model":<ref>[http://www.geo.utexas.edu/courses/387H/Lectures/chap2.pdf Chapter 2, The global energy balance], UT course ''Physical Climatology''</ref> the planet will have a constant surface temperature T<sub>s</sub> and an atmosphere with constant temperature T<sub>a</sub>. For diagrammatic clarity, a gap can be depicted between the atmosphere and the surface. Alternatively, T<sub>s</sub> could be interpreted as a temperature representative of the surface and the lower atmosphere, and T<sub>a</sub> could be interpreted as the temperature of the upper atmosphere. In order to justify that T<sub>a</sub> and T<sub>s</sub> remain constant over the planet, strong ocean and atmospheric currents can be imagined to provide plentiful lateral mixing. Furthermore, any daily or seasonal cycles in temperature are assumed to be insignificant.

| == The model ==
| |
| | |
| {{see also|Radiative forcing}}
| |
| The model will find the values of T<sub>s</sub> and T<sub>a</sub> that will allow the outgoing radiative power, escaping the top of the atmosphere, to be equal to the absorbed radiative power of [[sunlight]]. When applied to a planet like Earth, the outgoing radiation will be longwave and the sunlight will be shortwave. These two streams of radiation will have distinct emission and absorption characteristics. In the idealized model, we assume the atmosphere is completely transparent to sunlight. The planetary [[albedo]] α<sub>P</sub> is the fraction of the incoming solar flux that is reflected back to space (since the atmosphere is assumed totally transparent to solar radiation, it does not matter whether this albedo is imagined to be caused by reflection at the surface of the planet or at the top of the atmosphere or a mixture). The flux density of the incoming solar radiation is specified by the [[solar constant]] S<sub>0</sub>. For application to planet Earth, appropriate values are S<sub>0</sub>=1366 W m<sup>−2</sup> and α<sub>P</sub>=0.30. Accounting for the fact that the surface area of a sphere is 4 times the area of its intercept (its shadow), the average incoming radiation is | |
| S<sub>0</sub>/4.
| |
| | |
| For longwave radiation, the surface of the Earth is assumed to have an emissivity of 1 (i.e., the earth is a black body in the infrared, which is realistic). The surface emits a radiative flux density F according to the [[Stefan-Boltzmann law]]:
| |
| | |
| : <math>
| |
| F=\sigma T^4
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| where σ is the [[Stefan-Boltzmann constant]]. A key to understanding the greenhouse effect is [[Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation]]. At any given wavelength the absorptivity of the atmosphere will be equal to the emissivity. Radiation from the surface could be in a slightly different portion of the infrared spectrum than the radiation emitted by the atmosphere. The model assumes that the average emissivity (absorptivity) is identical for either of these streams of infrared radiation, as they interact with the atmosphere. Thus, for longwave radiation, one symbol ε denotes both the emissivity and absorptivity of the atmosphere, for any stream of infrared radiation.

A specific solution is depicted for ε=0.78 and α<sub>p</sub>=0.3, representing Planet Earth. The numbers in the parentheses indicate the flux densities as a percent of S<sub>0</sub>/4.]]
| |
| [[Image:IdealizedGreenhouseEmissivity82.png|thumb|400px|The equilibrium solution with ε=0.82. The increase by Δε=0.04 corresponds to doubling carbon dioxide and the associated positive feedback on water vapor.]]
| |
| [[Image:IdealizedGreenhouseEmissivity00.png|thumb|400px|The equilibrium solution with no greenhouse effect: ε=0]]
| |
| | |
| The infrared flux density out of the top of the atmosphere:
| |
| : <math>
| |
| F\uparrow =\epsilon \sigma T_a^4 + (1-\epsilon) \sigma T_s^4
| |
| </math>
| |
| In the last term, ε represents the fraction of upward longwave radiation from the surface that is absorbed, the absorptivity of the atmosphere. In the first term on the right, ε is the emissivity of the atmosphere, the adjustment of the Stefan-Boltzmann law to account for the fact that the atmosphere is not optically thick. Thus ε plays the role of neatly blending, or averaging, the two streams of radiation in the calculation of the outward flux density.
| |
|
| |
| Zero net radiation leaving the top of the atmosphere requires:
| |
| : <math>
| |
| -\frac{1}{4}S_0(1-\alpha_p)+\epsilon \sigma T_a^4 + (1-\epsilon) \sigma T_s^4= 0
| |
| </math>
| |
| Zero net radiation entering the surface requires:
| |
| : <math>
| |
| \frac{1}{4}S_0(1-\alpha_p)+\epsilon \sigma T_a^4 - \sigma T_s^4 = 0
| |
| </math>
| |
| Energy equilibrium of the atmosphere can be either derived from the two above equilibrium conditions, or independently deduced:
| |
| : <math>
| |
| 2 \epsilon \sigma T_a^4 - \epsilon \sigma T_s^4 = 0
| |
| </math>
| |
| Note the important factor of 2, resulting from the fact that the atmosphere radiates both upward and downward.
| |
| Thus the ratio of T<sub>a</sub> to T<sub>s</sub> is independent of ε:
| |
| : <math> T_a = { T_s \over 2^{1/4} }
| |
| = { T_s \over 1.189 }
| |
| </math>
| |
| Thus T<sub>a</sub> can be expressed in terms of T<sub>s</sub>, and a solution is obtained for
| |
| T<sub>s</sub> in terms of the model input parameters:
| |
| : <math>
| |
| \frac{1}{4}S_0(1-\alpha_p)=\left( 1-\frac{\epsilon}{2} \right) \sigma T_s^4
| |
| </math>
| |
| or
| |
| : <math>
| |
| T_s=\left[ \frac{S_0(1-\alpha_p)}{4\sigma} \frac{1}{1-{\epsilon \over 2}} \right]^{1/4}
| |
| </math>
| |
| The solution can also be expressed in terms of the [[effective temperature|''effective emission temperature'']] T<sub>e</sub>, which is the temperature that characterizes the outgoing infrared flux density F, as if the radiator were a perfect radiator obeying F=σT<sub>e</sub><sup>4</sup>. This is easy to conceptualize in the context of the
| |
| model. T<sub>e</sub> is also the solution for T<sub>s</sub>, for the case of ε=0, or no atmosphere:
| |
| : <math>
| |
| T_e \equiv \left[ \frac{S_0(1-\alpha_p)}{4\sigma} \right]^{1/4}
| |
| </math>
| |
| With the definition of T<sub>e</sub>:
| |
| : <math>
| |
| T_s= T_e \left[ \frac{1}{1-{\epsilon \over 2}} \right]^{1/4}
| |
| </math>
| |
| For a perfect greenhouse, with no radiation escaping from the surface, or ε=1:
| |
| : <math>
| |
| T_s= T_e 2^{1/4} = 1.189 T_e \qquad T_a=T_e
| |
| </math>
| |
| | |
| Using the parameters defined above to be appropriate for Earth,
| |
| : <math> T_e = 255 ~\mathrm{K} = -18 ~\mathrm{C} </math>
| |
| For ε=1:
| |
| : <math> T_s = 303 ~\mathrm{K} = 30 ~\mathrm{C} </math>
| |
| For ε=0.78,
| |
| : <math> T_s = 288.3 ~\mathrm{K} \qquad T_a = 242.5 ~\mathrm{K} </math>.
| |
| This value of T<sub>s</sub> happens to be close to a very widely quoted (but unattributed) 288 K claimed for the average global "surface temperature". ε=0.78 implies 22% of the surface radiation escapes directly to space, consistent with the statement of 15% to 30% escaping in the [[greenhouse effect]].
| |
| | |
| The [[radiative forcing]] for doubling carbon dioxide is 3.71 W m<sup>−2</sup>, in a simple parameterization. This is also the value endorsed by the [[Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change|IPCC]].
| |
| From the equation for <math>F\uparrow</math>,
| |
| : <math> \Delta F\uparrow = \Delta\epsilon \left( \sigma T_a^4 -\sigma T_s^4 \right) </math>
| |
| Using the values of T<sub>s</sub> and T<sub>a</sub> for ε=0.78 allows for <math> \Delta F\uparrow </math>= -3.71 W m<sup>−2</sup> with Δε=.019. Thus a change of ε from 0.78 to 0.80 is consistent with the radiative forcing from
| |
| a doubling of carbon dioxide. For ε=0.80,
| |
| : <math> T_s = 289.5 ~\mathrm{K} </math>
| |
| Thus this model predicts a global warming of ΔT<sub>s</sub> = 1.2 K for a doubling of carbon dioxide. A typical prediction from a [[Global climate model|GCM]] is 3 K surface warming, primarily because the GCM allows for positive feedback, notably from increased water vapor. A simple surrogate for including this feedback process is to posit an additional increase of Δε=.02, for a total Δε=.04, to approximate the effect of the increase in water vapor that would be associated with an increase in temperature. This idealized model then predicts a global warming of ΔT<sub>s</sub> = 2.4 K for a doubling of carbon dioxide, roughly consistent with the IPCC.
| |
| | |
| == Extensions ==
| |
| The simple one-level atmospheric model can be readily extended to a multiple-layer atmosphere. In this case the equations for the temperatures become a series of coupled equations. This simple model always predicts a decreasing temperature away from the surface, and all levels ''increase'' in temperature as "greenhouse gases are added". Neither of these effects are fully realistic: in the real atmosphere temperatures increase above the tropopause, and temperatures in that layer are predicted (and observed) to ''decrease'' as GHG's are added. This is directly related to the non-greyness of the real atmosphere.
