- Why are we concerned about the increases in CO2 and other gases that cause the greenhouse effect in Earth’s atmosphere? What steps can we take in the future to reduce the levels of CO2 in our atmosphere? What factors stand in the way of taking the steps you suggest? (You may include technological, economic, and political factors in your answer.)arrow_forwardIn the graph from the class handout the inflow of energy from the sun is given as a constant 236 watts per meter squared. To get this figure we used L(1 – a) × 236 W/m², where L = 1350 W/m²is the solar constant, and a = 0.3 is the Earth's albedo (meaning that 30% of the Sun's energy is reflected back into space). The 1/4 comes from averaging the arriving solar energy over the whole Earth (the surface area of the Earth is 4 times the area of the "disk of energy" hitting the Earth.) Using these ideas estimate the inflow of energy to a planet if the solar constant is 647 watts per meter squared and the planet's albedo is 0.5. Round your answer to the near 10 watts per square meter.arrow_forward- Mo Bas W Top y sea Go Pec ww ims webapps/assessment/take/launch.jsp?course_assessment_id=_54587 1&course_id%3 65310_1&content_id%=_ Maps Calorie Calculator Google daj المحتوى الرائج الجدول الأسبوعي الخا.. . calculationlab.co Remaining Time: 56 minutes, 43 seconds.

- Imagine being at the beach in this photo on a sunny summer afternoon. Describe the temperatures you would expect if you measured the surface of the beach and at a depth of 12 inches in the sand.

- Refer to the temperature distribution in the standard atmosphere as shown below. Calculate the standard atmosphere values of T, P, and ρ at a geopotential altitude of 100 meters.

If n=0, what is the equilibrium surface temperature of the planet? If S increases to 1370 W/m2 and n remains zero, what is the new equilibrium surface temperature? If the planet has a water vapor feedback so that the number of layers n is a function of surface temperature nT = (T – 254.5)/100, what is the equilibrium surface temperature? Considering the answers above, calculate the climate feedback factor g for this planet.arrow_forwardExplain what it means when we say that Earth’s oceans are in hydrostatic equilibrium.
