Question
The eruption of volcano Mt. Tambora in
1816 increased Earth's albedo by 0.009525.
By how much (in K) did Earth's average
surface temperature decrease? Use the
following expression (from Hites, page133),
to account for the greenhouse effect (AE):
OT4 = (1-a)/4 +AE. Assume initial values
for T = 288 K, o = 5.67*10^8 Wm-2 k-4, a=
0.30, and = 1372 Wm-2
