Not exact matches

A compelling argument for the positive longwave response is a leading alternate to Lindzen's IRIS although it receives less attention, and is known as the FAT hypothesis (from Dennis Hartmann) and arises from the fundamental physics of convection only heating the atmosphere where radiative cooling is efficient, and thus the temperature at the top of convective cloudiness should be near constant as it becomes warmer.

My understanding is that the notion of null versus alternate hypotheses came from the statistical testing field where in general a null hypothesis is an assertion that some phenomenon will be constrained to a subset, often a subspace, of the total universe of possible observations.
