Question:

Imagine a planet where S = 1,360 W/m2 and α = 0:3.

(a) If n = 0, what is the temperature of this planet?

(b) If S increases to 1,370 W/m2 and n remains equal to 0, what is the new temperature?

(c) Let us include a water-vapor feedback: S increases to 1,370 W/m2, but the number of layers, n, is a function of surface T: n(T) = (T – 254.5) /100. What is the new surface temperature?

(d) Using the answers to b and c and assuming that no other feedbacks are operating, what is the value of g for this climate?
