There's also a number of interesting applications in the evolution of Earth's atmosphere that branch off from the runaway greenhouse physics, for example how fast a magma - ocean covered early Earth ends up cooling — you can't lose heat to space of more than about 310 W / m2 or so for an Earth - sized planet with an efficient water vapor feedback, so it takes much longer for an atmosphere - cloaked Earth to cool off from impact events than a body just radiating at sigmaT ^ 4.

Actually, though, most of the OLR originates from below the tropopause (can get up around 18 km in the tropics, generally lower)-- with a majority of solar radiation absorbed at the surface, a crude approximation can be made that the area emitting to space is less than 2 * (20/6371) * 100 % ~ = 0.628 % more than the area heated by the sun, so the OLR per unit area should be well within about 0.6 % of the value calculated without the Earth's curvature (I'm guessing it would actually be closer to if not less than 0.3 % different).

Hence, whereas the planet is heated at the surface, it's main heat loss takes place from a height about 5.5 km above the ground, where most of the radiation is free to escape out to space.

Now, I think it was in 1956 that atmospheric physicist and sometimes - weapons designer Gilbert Plass (who needed to know about IR to fire heat - seeking missiles up the tailpipes of jet fighter at high altitude) noted that CO2 in the upper troposphere could block the escape of IR to space: The Carbon Dioxide Theory of Climate Change, Gilbert Plass (1955)(abstract) In the full paper, available at the above link, Plass spells out the previous notion which his research overturned:

The vertical hydroponic garden, which has space for «up to 160 plants» in an area of about 25 square feet, uses PVC pipe and gutter parts for the frame, which are easily sourced and can be worked with mostly basic tools (though an electric heat gun is required for one step).

99.96 % of dry air consists of gases that are about as transparent to the heat radiated by Earth to space as glass is to visible light.

All of the above can reduce by about 90 percent the energy needed to heat the space.

What's more, continually increasing greenhouse gases increase the imbalance by about 0.3 W / m2 per decade even as the planet warms and radiates some extra heat back to space.

Based on Building America experience, this report is about selecting furnaces, water heaters, both or sometimes just one to accomplish both space heating and domestic hot water.

Basically, as fast as heat loiters about on our planet's surface, it either radiates off to space or Water will pick it up and carry it to the upper layers of our atmosphere, where it will change form from gas to liquid or solid giving off heat to space while being super cooled at the same time.

When thinking about the building energy system, it's helpful to distinguish space heating from space cooling and ventilation.

It is not known what happens to latent and sensible heat losses from the ocean — but smething is known about losses to space and that's what's important.

Climategate and official responses to Climategate guided me back to hints Sir Fred Hoyle (astronomer, astro - physicist, cosmologist) and Professor Paul Kazuo Kuroda (nuclear, geo - chemist) left behind about changes in nuclear and space physics after WWII,... Changes that blocked understanding of Earth's heat source, solar energy:

At about 2,600 square feet, this energy - efficient home has a floor plan design which allows it to be functional while minimizing the heated space and amount of construction materials.

«greenhouse» gases in the atmosphere, since, as anybody but a climate change advocate nut knows, heat rises, most will then waft back harmlessly up into space, as the earth, as all functions seek equilibrium and homeostasis (those scientists believing that is a function of physiology and biology or entropy in a closed rather than open and single ended variant and changing input system don't know what they are talking about) then shifts back into balance, which is really what it is doing all along, since

About 20 years ago I bought a 2,000 square foot uninsulated house in upstate New York which got me interested in solar space heating.

Yet the period of rotation — obviously a major factor in explaining the loss of energy by a surface radiating to space — the Moon and Mercury for example have similar minimum temperatures — does not seem to have any place in this discussion yet it is one of the few real facts about planetary surface temperatures and heating and cooling we have.

The Wentz paper does not really address energy fluxes, and so I am still not clear about what the 0.8 W / m ^ 2 per deg.K flux is, e.g., a latent heat flux from the ocean surface into the atmosphere, or from the surface via convection and latent heat release to space, or something in between.

If Earth's mean energy imbalance today is +0.5 W / m2, CO2 must be reduced from the current level of 395 ppm (global - mean annual - mean in mid-2013) to about 360 ppm to increase Earth's heat radiation to space by 0.5 W / m2 and restore energy balance.

Here is the money quote, «Fundamentals, a vertical 3 / 4 - inch air space has an R - value of about R - 1 — assuming that the heat - emitting surface adjacent to the air space has an emissivity of 0.82.

Anybody who knows anything about thermal properties will understand that frozen water (i.e., ice and snow) takes up a LOT more space than liquid water, because water is one of the few compounds that expands when it freezes and contracts when its heated.

* CO2 doubling is not instantaneous but, at +2 ppm / year, would take about 200 years; hence there is plenty of time for convection and water vapour to restore the «emission of heat energy to space» as they do every day and night

The end result is a house that has about half the heat loss of a conventional construction home and that will get a large fraction of its space heating from solar.

The GHE is not about storing energy in the atmosphere, it's about atmosphere stopping the free radiation of heat from the surface to space.

While the space heating of the house is the sunspaces major contribution to energy saving, just consider that having a good, year round place to dry clothes saves an additional 1200 KWH of electricity and 2000 lbs of CO2 emissions a year — about the same as a 1000 watt PV array would produce.

Geophysicists believe that heat flows from Earth's interior into space at a rate of about 44 × 1012 W (TW).

You keep talking about the sun heating the steel shell, when I said «The planet is in interstellar space, with no atmosphere and no nearby stars.»

While I have talked mostly about using this collector for domestic solar water heating, it would also be fine for things like winter space heating, hot tub heating, and even pool heating into fall and winter in cold climates.

CO2 and H2O vapour emit vastly more heat than they absorb because they are somewhere between +30 C and -55 C, depending on the height, and deep space is about -270 C, as always the heat flows from hot to cold, the bigger the temperature gradient the greater the heat flow.

Without atmosphere the surface of the ocean or land would lose o (T ^ 4 — Ts ^ 4)(1) where Ts is the temperature of the space (about 4K) while in the presence of the atmosphere the heat losses are hc * (T — Tl)(2) and o (T ^ 4 — Tl ^ 4)(3) where (2) represents the heat transfer by convection (inclusive conduction) through the air layer and (3) corresponds to the net flow due to the heat exchange by radiation, Tl being the mean temperature of the air layer.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that space heating accounts for about 42 percent of energy use in U.S. residences and space heating accounts for 30 percent of homeowners energy - related expenses.
