But effective residence time is much longer because of the equlibrium (or near equlibrium) between surface ocean and atmosphere and biosphere and atmosphere. (realclimate.org)
I am agreeing that convection has been modeled, & I agree that the GCMs have included an equlibrium energy - in equals energy - out at the TOA. (realclimate.org)
Why doesn't the daily temp swing of 10 - 15 degrees on both sides of the equlibrium force the atmosphere to adopt the equilibrium in = out value? (realclimate.org)
