🌡️ Radiative-Convective Column: Why CO2 Warms the Surface

A 40-layer column of atmosphere finds its own equilibrium: change CO2 and humidity and watch the surface temperature, tropopause, the 15 micron notch in outgoing infrared and the water-vapour feedback. Explore, Student and Researcher levels with built-in numerical checks.
