Abstract

The mathematical model of radiative equilibrium of an atmosphere in the form of system of the transcendental equations is presented. For the first time spectral characteristics of absorbing gases (water vapor, ozone and uniformly distributed gases) and their concentration in an atmosphere on different altitudes are strictly taken into account in the proposed model. As an example the temperature distribution of radiative equilibrium in the tropical atmosphere is calculated. The coincidence of the calculation results with the actual temperature of air on altitudes up to 100 km is demonstrated. The role of solar radiation and the role of ozone and carbon dioxide in the formation of the thermal state of the tropical atmosphere is determined. On the basis of the calculation results it is stated that the temperature distribution in the tropical atmosphere matches radiative equilibrium, and a non-trivial character of temperature distribution due to the peculiarities of the spectral characteristics of absorbing gases and the peculiarities of their distribution in the atmosphere.
