Question

In addition to ozone, what four other greenhouse gases or groups of greenhouse gases are included in nearly all the climate models?

Answer 1

In addition to ozone, the four other greenhouse gases or groups of greenhouse gases are included in nearly all the climate models are Carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane, nitrous oxide.

Carbon dioxide, absorbs energy at a variety of wavelengths, a range that overlaps with that of infrared energy. As CO2 soaks up this infrared energy, it vibrates and re-emits the infrared energy back in all directions. About half of that energy goes out into space, and about half of it returns to Earth as heat, contributing to the ‘greenhouse effect.’

As methane is emitted into the air, it reacts in several ways. It reacts and  after oxidization methane forms water vapor and carbon dioxide. So, not only does methane contribute to global warming directly but also, indirectly through the release of carbon dioxide.

Nitrous oxide enhances the greenhouse effect by capturing reradiated infrared radiation from the Earth’s surface and subsequently warming the troposphere . It is chemically inert in the troposphere and stays in the troposphere for about 120 years before moving into the stratosphere where it ultimately leads to destruction of stratospheric ozone.

Water vapor does absorb longwave radiation and radiates it back to the surface, thus contributing to warming.
