Climate-Sensitivity

Climate-feedback diagnostic (Seinfeld & Pandis 2006 Ch. 23 §23.4 Eqs. 23.1-23.4 and Eq. 23.7 p. 1045) — the linear-response relation between a top-of-atmosphere radiative forcing perturbation ΔF and the equilibrium surface temperature change ΔT_s through the feedback-amplified climate sensitivity λ. Six observed-only algebraic equations on six state variables (ΔT_s the feedback-amplified equilibrium response, ΔT_0 the no-feedback Planck response, λ_0 the no-feedback sensitivity factor, ΔF_e the efficacy-weighted effective forcing, ΔF_r the forcing equivalent of realized warming, ΔT_unrealized the warming commitment) driven by five input parameters (ΔF the forcing perturbation, λ the feedback-amplified sensitivity, λ_CO2 the CO₂-doubling sensitivity reference, E_i the efficacy of the forcing agent, ΔT_r the realized warming to date) and two reference constants (ΔF_2xCO2 the CO₂-doubling radiative forcing, ΔT0_2xCO2 the no-feedback temperature change for CO₂ doubling). No time derivatives, no PDE, no coupling. Migrated from GasChem.jl@8c12c048 src/climate_forcing.jl:32 (`ClimateFeedback` @component). The component extends the no-feedback Planck response of the sibling `ClimateSensitivity` model (components/gaschem/radiation/climate_sensitivity.esm, S&P §4.2 Eqs. 4.8-4.10) by introducing the feedback-amplified sensitivity factor λ and the warming-commitment relation ΔT_unrealized = (ΔF - ΔF_r)·λ that captures the lag between achieved (ΔT_r) and equilibrium (ΔT_s) warming under a non-zero forcing perturbation. At Earth's nominal 2×CO₂ forcing ΔF = 3.7 W/m² and λ = 0.8 K·m²/W (IPCC AR4 central estimate), the component reproduces the textbook canonical ΔT_s ≈ 2.96 K equilibrium warming (S&P Page 1040), λ_0 ≈ 0.338 K·m²/W no-feedback Planck response, and ΔT_unrealized ≈ 0.49 K warming commitment for the present-day p. 1045 scenario (λ = 0.7, ΔF = 1.7, ΔT_r = 0.7).

Climate-sensitivity diagnostic (Seinfeld & Pandis 2006 Ch. 4, Eqs. 4.8-4.10) — the linear-response relation between a top-of-atmosphere radiative-forcing perturbation ΔF_net and the resulting change in planetary equilibrium temperature ΔT_e through the no-feedback climate-sensitivity factor λ_0 = 1 / (4·σ·T_e^3) = T_e / (4·F_L). The component is observed-only: four algebraic equations on four state variables (ΔF_net the net forcing, λ_0 the sensitivity factor, ΔT_e the temperature response, F_L the reference longwave flux) driven by three input parameters (T_e the reference equilibrium temperature, ΔF_S the forcing-side perturbation, ΔF_L the longwave-side perturbation) and one constant (σ the Stefan-Boltzmann constant). No time derivatives, no PDE, no coupling. Migrated from GasChem.jl@8c12c048 src/radiation_fundamentals.jl:268 (`ClimateSensitivity` @component). The blackbody reference state (F_L = σ·T_e^4) and the analytic differentiation of Stefan-Boltzmann (dF_L/dT_e = 4·σ·T_e^3 → λ_0 = 1 / (4·σ·T_e^3)) together encode the no-feedback Planck response — the only baseline against which feedback-amplified climate sensitivities (water vapor, lapse rate, albedo, cloud) are conventionally reported in IPCC assessments. At Earth's nominal T_e = 255 K the component reproduces the textbook λ_0 ≈ 0.27 K·m^2/W and a CO2-doubling ΔT_e ≈ 1.22 K (S&P Page 105) using a forcing-doubling estimate of 4.6 W/m^2.

Composed radiation-fundamentals system from Seinfeld & Pandis (2006) Chapter 4 (Eqs. 4.1-4.11). A pure structural aggregation (no coupling equations) of seven independent components: PhotonEnergy (photon energy-frequency-wavelength relations, Eq. 4.1), BlackbodyRadiation (Planck's law, Eq. 4.2), WienDisplacement (peak emission wavelength, Eq. 4.3), StefanBoltzmann (total emissive power, Eq. 4.4), PlanetaryEnergyBalance (Earth's equilibrium temperature, Eqs. 4.5-4.7), ClimateSensitivity (temperature response to forcing, Eqs. 4.8-4.10), and TOARadiativeForcing (net top-of-atmosphere flux, Eq. 4.11). Each component is inlined as a named subsystem; variables are dot-namespaced (RadiationFundamentals.<subsystem>.<var>).
