Consider a planet where Solar constant = 1360 W /m2 and albedo =0.30.  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?

Question

Consider a planet where Solar constant = 1360 W /m2 and albedo =0.30.

  1.  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?
  2. 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?
  3. Considering the answers above, calculate the climate feedback factor g for this planet.
