Hansen et al. (1978), with a one-dimensional radiative-convective model, simulated the thermal response of the atmosphere to the increased amount of aerosol at low latitudes. The resulting stratospheric temperature increase, which matches reasonably well the average heating observed, is... 

Pollack and Ackerman (1983) have reported the results of calculation with a one-dimensional radiative-convective model which predict the El Chichon cloud to have caused an increase of planetary albedo of 10%, a decrease in total radiation at the ground of 2-3%, and an increase in temperature of 3.5 degrees at the 30 mbar level. The GCM of the European Center for Medium Range Forecast was utilised to model the perturbation introduced by a fixed layer with an optical thickness of 0.15 added to the background a stratospheric warming of 3.5 C in the stratosphere and a cooling of about 0.1 C near the surface was obtained (Tanre and Geleyn, 1984).

The difference between the absorbed solar radiation and the net infrared radiation. Experimental data show that radiation from the earth s natural surfaces is rather close to the radiation from a black body at the corresponding temperature the ratio of the observed values of radiation to black body radiation is generally 0.90 -1.0. radiative-convective models...
