Scientific paper

The two parameterizations of the radiative flux divergence in the 15 micrometer CO2 band for the earth's middle atmosphere are related to Drayson's procedure described by Olivero (1970) and Dickinson's (1973) procedure which also includes atmospheric cooling due to radiation transfer in the 9.6 micrometer O3 band. The present investigation is concerned with a new parameterization of the earth's middle atmospheric cooling rate due to radiation transfer in the 15 micrometer CO2 band. The parameterization has been obtained with local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) which is realized below 75 km. Attention is given to basic equations, the peculiar features of radiation transfer in the 15 micrometer CO2 band, the calculation of the L function in the approximation of nonoverlapping lines, the choice of the height grid, the sensitivity of the parameterization to the temperature profile, and a comparison of various methods of calculation.
