Atmospheric science

idealized climate state where radiative cooling of the atmosphere is balanced by convective heating, used to estimate temperature profiles and climate sensitivity.

In atmospheric science, radiative-convective equilibrium refers to idealized climate state where radiative cooling of the atmosphere is balanced by convective heating, used to estimate temperature profiles and climate sensitivity. This meaning comes from Manabe (1967) in Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences.[1]
