N-layer radiative equilibrium model

Set the value of the solar constant, S0, the planetary albedo αp, and the long-wave emissivity of each atmospheric layer ε. Then click "run model" to solve for the radiative equilibrium temperature of each layer. Each atmospheric layer is assumed to be transparent to solar radiation.
