Questions
The figure аbоve shоws the heаting rаte prоfiles for CO2, O3, and H2O in the atmosphere with respect to Solar radiation and Infrared radiation. Label the following using constituent (O3, CO2, H2O) and radiation type the constituent is interaction with (either longwave (LW) or, shortwave (SW) (exaple SW O3, or LW CO2. “Net” is also an option for one line). Label the following A) B) C) D) E) F) G) I) Explain the balance between the above constituents in the troposphere (cooling vs warming). Is the troposphere in radiative equilibrium? Is it cooling or warming? Is it in any type of equilibrium? II) Explain the balance between the above constituents in the stratosphere (cooling vs warming). Is the stratosphere in radiative equilibrium? Is it cooling or warming? Is it in any type of equilibrium?
