摘要
The global mean temperatures of the atmosphere and the surface of various planets of the solar system are deter- mined by taking the system as in radiative equilibrium,with the atmosphere taken as transparent to solar radiation but with an albedo α,and composed of N layers each of which absorbs all infrared radiation that falls on it,and a top layer of partial absorptivity a,while the surface is taken as black.It is found that,for the earth's atmosphere with α=0.33, N=0,a=0.83,it gives the current observed mean surface temperature T_s=15℃ and the effective mean radiative temper- ature of the atmosphere T_a=242.6K.On the other hand;the atmosphere of Venus is characterized by α=0.70 and N=70,which yields a surface temperature of about 700K. It is also found that surface evaporation and absorption of solar radiation by the atmosphere tend to lower the sur- face temperature.
