IR radiation, stratified atmospheres
- GreyGasOLR.py Computes the OLR as a function of optical thickness for an all-troposphere grey-gas atmosphere, whose temperature profile is given by the dry adiabat.
- GreyGasRunaway.py Computes the OLR as a function of surface temperature for a one-component condensible saturated atmosphere whose mass is determined by equilibrium with a reservoir. This illustrates the runaway greenhouse phenomenon. The atmosphere is treated as a grey gas.
