We can solve for a planet’s temperature!This is the “bare rock” model: A climate prediction from laws of
energy balance, black body radiation and geometry!

Watts in = Watts out

What temperature does the “bare rock” model predict?
• Minus eighteen degrees Celsius. -18C !!!??
• If Earth were this cold it would:
• have solid frozen oceans and miles of ice.
• blindingly bright
• So something important must be missing from the model…
• The atmosphere! The Earth is not a bare rock.
• If it were it would be real cold here on the surface.
• But the atmosphere blankets our rocky surface. This makes a big difference to the temperature.

• Sun beams down 51 units of shortwave energy
• WOW: 96 more units of longwave energy are beamed down from atmospheric gases and clouds!
• Earth's surface loses these 147 units through convection, evaporation, and radiation emission (glowing)

• Gases are made of moving molecules separated by empty space
• Kinetic energy of molecular motion is proportional to temperature
• Gases don’t behave as blackbodies or even graybodies!

Experiments show both kinds of behavior:
• Oscillating fields with troughs and crests (waves)
• Individual packets of energy (particles)

Energy is “Quantized”• When radiation interacts
with atoms and molecules, only certain “jumps” in energy are possible
• Electrons orbit at specific energy levels above an atomic nucleus
• Absorption of a photon of just the right energy can make them “jump up” to the next level
• Emission of a photon occurs when an electron “falls” down to a level below
![Page 30: ESS15 Lecture 7 - UCI Sitessites.uci.edu/ess15winter2016/files/2016/02/Lecture07.EnergyBalanc… · Review • A: more, faster • B: less, shorter • C: more, at the same speed](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043008/5f983f19472c634aa86cafa8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Atomic Emission• Big jumps take lots of
energy, small jumps take less
• Big drops emit energetic photons (short wavelengths)
• Small drops emit less energetic photons (longer wavelengths)
Most electron transitions in gases absorb/emit visible or UV light

Molecules and Photons• Molecules are groups of atoms
that share electrons (bonds) • Molecular transitions involve
changes in vibration, rotation, bending, and stretching of chemical bonds
• Photons can interact with molecules to change states
• Transitions involve specific amounts of energy, so only certain wavelengths are active
Molecular transitions typically absorb and emit in thermal infrared
![Page 33: ESS15 Lecture 7 - UCI Sitessites.uci.edu/ess15winter2016/files/2016/02/Lecture07.EnergyBalanc… · Review • A: more, faster • B: less, shorter • C: more, at the same speed](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022043008/5f983f19472c634aa86cafa8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Nearly all of the air is made of oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) in which two atoms of the same element share electrons
Diatomic molecules can vibrate back and forth like balls on a
spring, but the ends are identical

O O NN
• Infrared (heat) energy radiated up from the surface can be absorbed by these molecules, but not very well

Molecules that have many ways to wiggle are called “greenhouse”
molecules.
Dancing molecules and heat rays
• They have many more ways to vibrate and rotate, so they are very good at absorbing and emitting infrared (heat) radiation
