| Abstract: The GFDL longwave radiation parameterization has been modified to employ the CKD 2.1 formulation of the water vapor continuum. A general circulation model (GCM) experiment using the GFDL "SKYHI" model has been performed using the revised algorithm. The calculation also includes the radiative effects of CH4, N2O and CFCs. The model-simulated radiative heating rates, fluxes and associated temperture changes are compared to those obtained using the Roberts H2O continuum formulation. |
