Radiative equilibrium in the middle atmosphere
Main Article Content
Abstract
We describe a theoretical study of the state of radiative equilibrium of the middle atmosphere; our approach is basically analytic. We introduce a new general method of solution based on the radiative eigenfunctions (natural modes of radiative temperature relaxation in the atmosphere). This method is checked against published results involving purely numerical solutions. Our results indicate good accuracy, and the convenience of workable analytic methods.
