A simple two-system-parameter model for surface-effected warming of the planetary boundary layer

The transabsorptivity concept which specifies the heat input into the PBL resulting from surface-atmosphere interactions is discussed. This concept is examined in terms of governing equations, and transabsorptivity is defined as the product of the surface absorptivity and the transfer efficiency. It...

Zusammenfassung:	The transabsorptivity concept which specifies the heat input into the PBL resulting from surface-atmosphere interactions is discussed. This concept is examined in terms of governing equations, and transabsorptivity is defined as the product of the surface absorptivity and the transfer efficiency. It is proposed that the climatic effects of surface changes be formulated in terms of changes in the transabsorptivity. A diagram of the surface-atmosphere interactions is provided.
