Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences · 4 units · Graduate courses (200-299)
Presentation of computational methods for solar and thermal infrared radiative fluxes and heating rates in clear, aerosol, and cloudy atmospheres for climate studies. Topics include line-by-line and correlated k-distribution methods for treating gaseous absorption, simplified methods for radiative transfer in Rayleigh and Lorenz/Mie atmospheres, and global radiative equilibrium. Use of user-friendly computer code required to perform calculations of radiative fluxes and heating rates in various atmospheric conditions for climate applications.
