The paper provides evidence that all the longwave
IR radiation released to space comes from the Mesopause, the Tropopause, Cloud tops, and the surface.
Not exact matches
Doesn't this make heat
release by
IR radiation part of the process at a molecular level, or is heat
release by dissipation via gas to droplet collisions much more dominant?
The
IR photos
released by the surface are longer
radiation.
As they heat up, the oceans, land and atmosphere
release heat in the form of
IR thermal
radiation, which passes out of the atmosphere and into space.
