  "id": "MLC-T-MET-010705",
  "term": "Radiative-convective model",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A simplified atmospheric model that calculates the vertical temperature profile of the atmosphere by balancing radiative transfer with convective heat transport. These models typically assume a horizontally uniform atmosphere and focus on the vertical distribution of temperature and radiative fluxes. They are used to study the effects of greenhouse gases and aerosols on climate.",
