A Simple Experimental System for Predicting the Temperature Rise of the Global Warming Induced by the Greenhouse Effect

In this report, a simple experimental system is shown, by which the temperature rise of global warming due to greenhouse gases can be demonstrated quantitatively. The system configuration is similar to that of the earth-atmosphere-space system based on a simple gray atmosphere model. The space (heat sink), the ground surface and the radiation power from the sun were replaced by a liquid nitrogen, and a black coated aluminum plated with an electric heater and an electric power of the heater, respectively. We believe that it can be a unique experimental system, that is useful for the study of the greenhouse effect in a laboratory, as well as for the educational demonstration tool of this phenomenon.
