A Numerical Experiment of the Atmospheric Radiation

[摘要] Net flux of long wave radiation and its divergence in the model atmospheres were calculated numerically and tabulated. Glancing over the tables, it was found that the change of the net flux and its divergence due to the change of water vapour amount was comparatively small while the change by cloudiness was large. The values of cooling rate of the atmosphere calculated by the present authors were compared with London's calculations. It was found that both values agreed roughly in middle troposphere, but that there were differences near the earth's surface and the upper stratosphere.
