5 Recall: Earth s Energy Budget energy received = energy re-emitted temperature change = (heat capacity) (heat imbalance)
6 Recall: Earth s Energy Budget energy received = energy re-emitted temperature change = (heat capacity) (heat imbalance) to use in a course: explain the numbers?
7 Global Energy Balance Models heat imbalance = insolation - reflection - reemission incoming solar radiation short wave long wave The Earth s climate is represented as a temperature over one point R dt dt = Q(1 α) (A + BT) all variables and parameters are global averages.
8 Zonal Energy Balance Models "! T(y)!"!%&#$%&" 0 1 y # ' $ equator pole The climate on Earth is represented by a function of temperature over an interval (temperature profile).
9 Zonal Energy Balance Models Why might we want to consider this type of model? What is the advantage of the spatial dimension?
10 Zonal Energy Balance Models heat imbalance = insolation - reflection - reemission - transport 0 y 1 y equator pole transport processes eg. wind, storm, the gulf stream modeling transport eg. diffusion, relaxation to global average
11 Zonal Energy Balance Models heat imbalance = insolation - reflection - reemission - transport 0 y 1 y equator pole reemission processes include the effects of green house gasses modeling reemission is often based on the Stefan-Boltzman s law of black body radiation
