Abstract: The solar and longwave radiative effects of a stratospheric aerosol layer between 18 and 22 km are compared for a tropical atmosphere. The changes in the daily mean solar and longwave radiative fluxes above and below the ...

Abstract: An analytic expression for the specific heating rate due to solar absorption by nitrogen dioxide is derived by approximating the solar insolation and absorption cross section by simple functions of wavelength. The analytic ...

Abstract: Calculated perturbations to stratospheric ozone are generally thought to be reduced when temperature feedback is included in the model. We find that when self-consistent hydrostatic adjustment is included with temperature ...
