2. Model and Experimental Design

The dependency of the structure of the three-dimensional gray atmosphere on the solar constant and the runaway greenhouse states. 1.c. Problems Investigated in the Present Paper 2.b. Model

a. Utilized System and Assumptions

The system utilized is basically the same as that of the 1D model developed by Nakajima et al. (1992), except for the inclusion of atmospheric motion. In our study, the following assumptions are made:

As can be seen from the above, the system setup used in the present study is extremely simple. The reason for this is that we are attempting a 3D version of the study by Nakajima et al. (1992). By applying the results of Komabayashi (1967) and Ingersoll (1969) to a reproducible stratosphere/troposphere model, Nakajima et al. (1992) succeeded in constructing a theoretical framework for a runaway greenhouse state. The goal of the present study is to move on to the further step by the use of their framework.
