The major one looks to be additional latent heat provided by evaporation which is being caused
additional back radiation and the warmer water column.
Not exact matches
Alarmists are obsessed with the
additional energy that they believe to come from
back -
radiation from manmade CO2 in the atmosphere.
He has stated that
additional CO2 should have a small effect on temperatures but I have not heard of him endorsing the illogical idea of «
back radiation» (to which I believe you refer) as a warming process in the atmosphere.
to reflect near - IR
radiation back onto the filament while allowing visible light through, resulting in
additional heating of the filament and a concomitant reduction in electrical power (up to 30 %) required to maintain the same filament temperature.
If so, then we can put numbers behind the qualitative discussion on the influence of CO2 on the climate of the Earth since we can now relate the
additional heat available due to the absorption of the outgoing
radiation by CO2 to the total heat available due to the irradiation from the Sun and the
back radiation previously to the enriching of the atmosphere by CO2.
The results indicate the reduction of the temperature difference between the bulk temperature of water (5 cm below the surface) and the temperature of the surface skin layer (which is approximately 1 mm thick), by approximately 0.002 K / (W / m ^ 2) as compared to the temperature difference without the
additional increase of
back radiation.
f) all the
additional energy coming from the increase of the
back radiation is thermalized within the skin layer and then emitted
back to the air by increasing
radiation, convection, conduction and evaporation into the air so that none part of it is delivered to the ocean — otherwise it would give us the decrease of the cooling of the bulk temperature of the ocean;
In other words, the stepwise increase of the
back radiation by the
additional 0.062 W / m ^ 2 per year results in the stepwise increase of the temperature of water (within the layer of 5 cm) by 0.00005 K per year.
In other words, * we can observe the increase of CO2 in atmosphere above the ocean, * CO2 absorbs some part of the outgoing
radiation from the surface of the ocean which increases somewhat the temperature of the air * The increasing of temperature causes the (slight) increase of the (already existing)
back radiation * This (now increased)
back radiation is absorbed by the surface skin layer of the ocean which means that the energy delivered by the
back radiation to the surface skin layer is now slightly higher * This
additional energy will now be distributed over the channels that are participating in the heat transfer from the absorbing surface skin layer to both the air above the skin layer and the bulk of the ocean.
The presence of the
additional effect, evaporation, influences certainly the time relation between T and Tl but will not change the conclusion that the
back radiation does not heat ocean or land by itself.
