Abstract: Random band models with S-l-u tailed distribution for line intensity are proposed for both the Lorentz lineprofile and an approximate Voigt line profile suggested by Zhu. Such a distribution for the weak line intensityis ...

Abstract: A new algorithm for calculating CO2 15-?m band cooling rate is suggested following a similar idea proposed by Fels and Schwarzkopf in 1981. Since the Curtis matrix is more useful in cooling rate calculations, we show in ...

Abstract: Radiative damping rates of temperature perturbations are calculated by CO2 and O3 Curtis matrices extending from the surface to 120 km in the earth's atmosphere with the eigenvalue and scale-dependent Newtonian cooling ...

Abstract: A new theory of the saturated vertical wavenumber spectrum of gravity waves for the middle atmosphere is developed. The theory is based on a hypothesis that the saturated spectrum is a result of balance among various ...

Abstract: An accurate, efficient, and user-friendly radiation algorithm is developed for calculating net radiative heating rate in middle atmosphere models. The Curtis matrix interpolation scheme originally developed by Zhu is adopted ...

Abstract: This paper compares accuracy for the daily averaged reflection, transmission, and absorption of solar flux derived from the delta-four-stream approximation and a few selected two-stream approximations. In the chosen variety ...

Abstract: Radiative damping rates of atmospheric temperature perturbations can be calculated by either an eigenvalue method or a scale-dependent Newtonian cooling method, which we show are equivalent in two limits. One limit is an ...

Abstract: We examine the role of geostrophic adjustment in the middle atmosphere for given wave packet forcing by a three-dimensional hydrostatic model. The problem is solved directly so that solutions are expressed as convolution ...
