| Abstract: | Increases in CO2 and trace gases in the earth's atmosphere can lead to changes in the radiative balance of the earth's atmosphere in two ways. Changes in the amount of these constituents leads directly to changes in outgoing longwave radiation. This change in outgoing longwave radiation causes the thermal structure of the atmosphere to change. These changes in thermal structure can then alter the distribution of outgoing longwave radiation. Changes in the distribution and amount of outgoing radiation due to various increases in CO2 and trace gases are presented from a model with a spectral resolution of 5 cm−1. The effects of stratospheric aerosols, and the use of general circulation models for detecting changes in the radiative balance are discussed. |
