Energy in the Ocean- Atmosphere Climate System SOEE3410 : Lecture 2 Dr Ian Brooks Room 1.64a Environment Building

SOEE3410 : Atmosphere and Ocean Climate Change2 The atmosphere-ocean system acts as a heat engine Energy OUT = Energy IN Work done  moving atmosphere and ocean around Energy IN (solar radiation) Work done Energy OUT (heat lost to space as infra-red radiation)

SOEE3410 : Atmosphere and Ocean Climate Change7 TsTs SW i SW r LW e SW i = Solar (shortwave) radiation SW r = shortwave reflected LW e = Infra red (longwave) emitted radiation =  T s 4 T s = surface temperature  = Stefan-Boltzman constant (5.67 x Watts m -2 K -4 ) At equilibrium… SW i = SW r + LW e No Atmosphere In the absence of an atmosphere the surface temperature of earth would be approximately 255K (-18ºC). It’s actual mean temperature is 288K (+15ºC)

SOEE3410 : Atmosphere and Ocean Climate Change8 Radiation absorbed from ONE direction, heating gas, is re-emitted in ALL directions CO 2 Some radiation passes through atmosphere Some radiation absorbed by gas molecules

SOEE3410 : Atmosphere and Ocean Climate Change23 Increases in greenhouse gas concentrations change the radiative balance of the earth by reducing the outgoing longwave radiation. The climate system must adjust to a new equilibrium. The nature of the change in climate state is complicated by the large number of interacting processes.
