Type of article: Article

Summary

AN ADVANCED RADIATIVE-CONVECTIVE MODEL WAS DEVELOPED AND USED. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT: 1) THE RADIATIVE FORCING AND THEN THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT ARE SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED BY THE OVERLAPPING OF ATMOSPHERIC ABSORPTION BANDS ; 2) THE INCREASING CONCENTRATION OF TRACE GASES OTHER THAN CO2, SUCH AS METHANE, NITROUS OXIDE, CFCS, ETC, MAY POTENTIALLY PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN FUTURE GLOBAL WARMING ; 3) THE PROPOSED CFC SUBSTITUTES, SUCH AS R124 AND R125, ALSO HAVE CONSIDERABLE IMPACTS ON THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT ; 4) THE FEEDBACK PROCESSES WITHIN THE EARTH-ATMOSPHERE SYSTEM HAVE AN IMPORTANT EFFECT ON THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE CHANGE DUE TO THE RADIATIVE FORCING TO THE SYSTEM.
