    "abstract": "A qualitative understanding of the greenhouse effect has long been available\nthrough models based on globally- and time-averaged quantities. We examine here\na simple 864-cell climatological model that emphasizes vertical radiative\nenergy transport within each cell. It reproduces yearly average temperatures\nobtained earlier from one of these global models and predicts a locally\ndistributed non-radiative flux when observed temperatures are employed as input\ndata. Vertical and lateral transport of latent heat do not appear explicitly in\nthis model. They are apparently handled well by one non-radiative flux\nvariable, SNR, which shows a strong latitude dependence. Only the Sahara desert\nand Saudi Arabian regions appear to be complex. For those interested in\nclimatology and construction of climate models, our model provides constraints\nupon specifying averaged non-radiative energy transport. The model is a useful\nsimplification for learning about radiative energy transfer into and out of\nEarth?s atmosphere and for representing the results of more sophisticated\nmodels.",
