Climate Labs |

-
Climate Data Labs. Monthly mean plots of temperature and precipitation
for a city.
- The
Layer Model Approximation to the Greenhouse Effect. This lab
exercises your understanding of "layer models" of the greenhouse effect.
These are also called "isothermal slab models," or "glass atmosphere
models." They have serious shortcomings in their neglect of the way
thermodynamics and convection alters the vertical temperature structure of
real atmospheres, but they are still useful in understanding the basic way
the greenhouse effect operates.
