The effects of water vapor and carbon dioxide on temperature and heat transfer in the troposphere layer, which is less than the altitude of 10 km, in the atmosphere are presented in this work. Accounting for realistic temperature- and pressure- or concentration-dependent radiative properties, this work systematically evaluates heat transfer encountered in atmosphere.
For simplicity, the heat transfer is assumed to be one-dimensional and pure conduction and radiation modes. The solar irradiation penetrates through the atmosphere within its short wavelength range near around visible range between 0.4-0.7 £gm, and absorbed and reflected by the earth ground with a gray body property. The ground emits radiation in longwave range. Water vapor is transparent to longwave range 8-12 £gm and absorbed in five long wavelength bands centered at 71, 6.3, 2.7, 1.87, 1.38 £gm, whereas carbon dioxide is absorbed in four long wavelength bands centered at 15, 4.3, 2.7 and 2.0 £gm.
The computed results quantitatively show that water vapor and carbon dioxide are the most important factors affecting temperature difference around 2 Celsius degrees.
