4.a.iii. Atmospheric heating profile
|
The following four figures show
the vertical profiles of horizontal and temporal mean
heating rate for potential temperature.
Figure 11e and
Figure 11g show
the profiles of the first day and the second day
of the dusty case, and
Figure 11f and
Figure 11h show
the corresponding profiles of each component of
radiative heating, respectively.
During the daytime after LT=16:00 of the first day,
the profile of radiative heating varies
greatly in the vertical direction
of the height levels from 10 to 15 km.
The main component of the radiative heating
which causes this vertical variation
is solar radiative heating associated with dust.

Figure 11e:
Horizontal and time mean heating rates for potential temperature;
profiles of the first day in the dusty case.
Unit is K/day.
Orange line denotes convective heating,
red line denotes infrared radiative heating,
blue line denotes solar radiative heating,
green line denotes turbulent diffusion of potential
temperature, and
light purple line denotes heating due
to turbulent dissipation, respectively.
Lower panel shows the magnified profiles of
the lower altitudes below 1 km height of
upper panel.

Figure 11f:
Diurnal variation of horizontal and time mean radiative heating rates
for potential temperature;
profiles of the first day in the dusty case.
Unit is K/day.
Red line denotes infrared radiative heating
due to CO2,
purple line denotes infrared radiative heating
due to dust,
blue line denotes near infrared radiative heating
due to CO2,
and light blue line denotes solar radiative heating
due to dust, respectively.
Lower panel shows the magnified profiles of
the lower altitudes below 1 km height of
upper panel.
