Analysis of the planetary thermal distribution with a simple three-zone maximum-flux model

Abstract: The large uncertainties in the forecasting of future global climatic conditions endorse the need of developing simple yet credible predicting tools. Here we propose a threezone steady-state radiative model that maximizes latitudinal heat fluxes and considers the potential effect of the Earth s declination. The model is formulated as a set of five equations and six unknowns (zonal temperatures and widths, and the latitudinal heat transport) that requires specifying the reflected (albedo) and back-to-Earth (gree… Show more

“…Part of this outgoing flux is retained by GHGs in the atmosphere and is radiated back to the sea surface. The amount of this is is calculated with the help of an empirical relation between the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere C (t) and the radiative forcing relative to all greenhouse gases, referenced to the preindustrial value of G 0 =144.2 W m -2 (Ramaswamy, 2001;Hogg, 2008;Roca and Pelegrí, 2019)…”

“…Obtenim el valor de l'efecte hivernacle actual a partir de la radiació mitjana que arriba a la superfície terres- (Petty, 2006;Roca and Pelegrí, 2020). D'aquesta manera, a partir de les dades paleoclimàtiques de CO 2 i de les previsions de CO 2 per a dos escenaris climàtics diferents (IPCC, 2015), deduïm que els factors d'efecte hivernacle han estat de 0,382 durant el LGM i poden arribar a 0,406 (escenari RCP6.0) o 0,413 (escenari RCP8.5) a finals d'aquest segle (taula 4.2).…”
