Global Energy Balance Models
heat imbalance = insolation - reflection - reemission
The Earth’s climate is represented as a temperature over one “point”
RdT
dt= Q(1− α)− (A+BT )
all variables and parameters are global averages.

Zonal Energy Balance Models
The climate on Earth is represented by a function of temperature over an interval
(temperature profile).

only in the response of the IR to the surface temperature at the annual frequency but at lower and higher frequencies as well, since there is always the possibility of bias entering that is peculiar to the systematic poleward and equatorward motions of cloud patterns.
2.1. OLR Data and Method of Analysis Most of our analysis was conducted with 10 years of OLR
data (July 1975 through June 1985) which were deconvoluted from the wide field-of-view radiometers aboard the Nimbus 6 and 7 satellites. The details on the construction of this data set have been discussed by Bess and Smith [ 1987a, b; Bess et al., 1992]. There were 4 missing months in the data set (July 1978 through October 1978) which were replaced by the 9-year mean for those calendar months. The data were obtained in spherical harmonic format truncated triangularly at degree 12, although OLR gridded fields were computed by expansion on to a 15 ø x 15 ø grid.
We also analyzed an additional 9 months of OLR data from the ERBE mission (February, March, May, June, July, September, October, November, of 1985 and January 1986), which were provided by NESDIS.
Monthly mean surface temperature climatology as well as anomalies analyzed in this study were obtained from the National Center for Atmospheric Research. The tempera- ture anomalies are from those used by Jones et al. [ 1986] and Jones [1988]. The missing temperature anomalies were filled using spatial linear interpolation. The interpolation was more extensive in the southern hemisphere so we concentrate our discussion on the northern hemisphere results. The temper- ature data were obtained on a 5 ø x 5 ø but were smoothed to 15 ø x 15 ø to match spatial resolution of the OLR data. Additionally, only those months for which the OLR data were available were analyzed.
The analysis is based on the linear regression given by (2),
where the regression coefficients are computed for a variety of filtered I and T s time series. The parameter B is of most concern in this study since it is inversely proportional to the sensitivity of temperature anomalies to radiative cooling. That is, the larger the value of B the faster temperature anomalies are radiatively damped. In the absence of feed- backs such as snow-albedo B -] is also a measure of a climate model's sensitivity to changes in external control parameters. When the regression was done at a particular grid point, no area weighting was applied, however when large regional estimates of B were obtained, the analysis included area weighting (i.e., a cosine of latitude weighting at each grid point).
2.2. OLR Analysis 2.2.1. The 10-year mean. The regression analysis was
first applied to each grid point for the entire 10 years (120 months). A map of the locally computed regression coeffi- cient B and the corresponding correlation coefficient are shown in Figure 1. As with all plots in this study, some nearest neighbor averaging was applied to smooth out the contours. A pronounced difference between the tropics and middle latitudes can be observed in both the values of B and the correlation coefficient in Figure 1. In much of the middle and high latitudes the value of B is near 2.0 W m-2 øC-•, and the transition region tends to follow the position of the climatological storm tracks along the east coasts of the two northern hemisphere land masses. In middle and high lati- tudes the correlation coefficient is more zonally symmetric with values greater than 0.6.
In the tropics, the value of B is highly longitude dependent reflecting the strong regional cloud-surface temperature de- pendence in the tropics. Of course, the dynamic range of T is also very small in the tropics. The three locations with large negative values of B are in the vicinity of regions of
