From this layman's perspective you are discussing
NET radiative heat transfer between non-gaseous objects thus infering wide band land wave radiation is emitted / absorbed by the surface of each object.
In any introductory engineering heat transfer text, you will see that
the net radiative heat transfer between two objects (1 and 2) is given as:
I pointed out that cooler objects do not warm warmer objects because
the net radiative heat transfer would be negative and because it would imply that the cooler object spontaneously loses entropy without doing any work.
It is not the infrared emission that cools the surface as in the so - called radiative equilibrium models because
the net radiative heat transfer surface to air is about nil, but the evaporation whose thermostatic effect can not be overstated: increasing the surface temperature by +1 °C increases the evaporation by 6 %; where evaporation is 100 W / m ², this removes an additional 6 W / m ² from the surface.
Not exact matches
«in an isotropic non GHG world, the
net would be zero, as the mean conduction flux would equalize, but in our earth it is still nearly zero» if the atmosphere were isothermal at the same temperature as the surface then exactly the downwelling radiation absorbed by the surface would be equal to the radiation of th surface absorbed by the air (or rather by its trace gases) and both numbers would be (1 - 2E3 (t (nu)-RRB--RRB- pi B (nu, T) where t (nu) is the optical thickness, B the Planck function, nu the optical frequency and T the temperature; as the flow from the air absorbed by the surface is equal to the flow from the surface absorbed by the air, the
radiative heat transfer is zero between surface and air.
That gravity is responsible for the 33K in unexplained
heating and contrary to the assumptions of the
radiative transfer model, increasing the weight of N2O2 in the atmosphere will increase the surface temperature, as more and more molecules are packed into a smaller volume, resulting in a
net increase in energy per cubic meter of atmosphere at the surface, which we measure as an increase in temperature.
Therefore it is only the
net energy flows which need be considered when estimating the
radiative heat transfers in the diagram.
I made the suggestion that the
NET radiative flux should be compared with other
heat transfer processes; you think otherwise.
