E. Atmospheric Structure in Equilibrium States

The dependency of the structure of the three-dimensional gray atmosphere on the solar constant and the runaway greenhouse states E.b. Temperature Distribution and Mass Stream Function (Troposphere) E.d. Specific Humidity Distribution (Troposphere)

c. Condensation Heating Distribution (Troposphere)

With the increase of solar constant, the troposphere extends up to a higher altitude. If the region in which condensation heating occurs is identified as the troposphere, it can be assumed that the tropopause height increases with increasing solar constant.
