Abstract

Radiative equilibrium temperature for the middle atmosphere (20-90 km) has been computed as asymptotic solution to the time-dependent equation describing the radiative balance in that region. Strobel's (1978) parameterization was used for short-wave heating, while Wehrbein and Leovy's (1982) and Ramanathan's {1976) parameterization are used for 1ong-wave cooling. The computed temperature profile shows good agreement with the USSA (1976) temperature profile.
