TLDR
In this article, the authors compared the accuracy of the GFDL radiation model with other numerical models, including Rodgers and Walshaw's scheme, and found that it has accuracy comparable to other numerical model despite various assumptions adopted.Abstract:
The scheme of computing the temperature change due to long wave radiation, developed by Manabe and Strickler and incorporated into the general circulation models developed at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory of ESSA, is compared with a group of other numerical schemes for computing radiative temperature change (e.g., the scheme of Rodgers and Walshaw). It is concluded that the GFDL radiation model has the accuracy comparable with other numerical models despite various assumptions adopted.read more

Sensitivity of a global climate model to an increase of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the response of a global model of the climate to quadrupling of the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and found that the warming of the model atmosphere resulted in an enrichment of the moisture content in the air and an increase in the poleward moisture transport.

The Influence of Continental Ice Sheets on the Climate of an Ice Age
TL;DR: In this paper, the climate influence of the land ice that existed 18,000 years before present (18K B.P.) is investigated by use of a general circulation model of the atmosphere coupled with a static mixed layer ocean.

The Effects of Orography on Midlatitude Northern Hemisphere Dry Climates
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of mountains in maintaining extensive midlatitude arid regions in the Northern Hemisphere was investigated using simulations from the GFDL Global Climate Model with and without orography.

Climate modeling through radiative‐convective models
TL;DR: A review of the radiative-convective models that have been used in studies pertaining to the earth's climate is presented in this article, where the important climatic feedback mechanism between surface temperature and H2O amount in the atmosphere is simulated.

Thermal Equilibrium of the Atmosphere with a Given Distribution of Relative Humidity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the surface equilibrium temperature of the atmosphere with a given distribution of relative humidity is almost twice as sensitive to change of various factors such as solar constant, CO2 content, O3 content, and cloudiness than that of the one with a fixed relative humidity.

Simulated climatology of a general circulation model with a hydrologic cycle
TL;DR: The results of a numerical time integration of a hemispheric general circulation model of the atmosphere with moist processes and a uniform earth's surface has already been published by Manabe, Smagorinsky, and Strickler as discussed by the authors.

Thermal Equilibrium of the Atmosphere with a Convective Adjustment
TL;DR: The role of various gaseous absorbers (i.e., water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone) as well as the role of the clouds, is investigated by computing thermal equilibrium with and without one or two of these elements.

Numerical Results from a Nine-Level General Circulation Model of the ATMOSPHERE1
TL;DR: In this article, the primitive equations of motion (PEOM) model is used to resolve surface boundary layer fluxes as well as radiative transfer by ozone, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.

The computation of infra‐red cooling rate in planetary atmospheres
C. D. Rodgers,C. D. Walshaw +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a scheme for the calculation of the atmospheric infra-red radiative cooling rate which is suitable for use at all levels is described, using the Curtis matrix method together with the Curtis-Godson approximation in a form which includes the influence of temperature on line intensity.
