With climate and Greenhouse Gas thoeries of Global warming, it appears to me that of most interest is the interface between the Earth's atmosphere and space and the flow of radiated heat from the sun, what's reflected back from Earth's surface and the consequences of any change in that balance.

In other words, greenhouse gases don't retain heat themselves, but rather redirect outgoing energy radiated by the surface and lower in the atmosphere, thereby delaying it's ultimate escape to space.

«Sunlight passes through the atmosphere largely unhindered and warms the Earth's surface; the warmed surface radiates heat and some of this radiation is absorbed in the upper atmosphere and re-emitted, about half of the re-emitted energy returning to the Earth's surface.

Heat radiated from the Earth's surface has a range of frequencies, which encompass the vibration frequencies of the gases in the atmosphere, including those of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.»

This is why (absent sufficient solar or other non-LW heating) the skin temperature is lower than the effective radiating temperature of the planet (in analogy to the sun, the SW radiation from the sun is like the LW radiation, and the direct «solar heating» of the part of the atmosphere above the photosphere may have to due with electromagnetic effects (as in macroscopic plasmas and fields, not so much radiation emitted as a function of temperature).

No heat» radiates out in space, it's all canceled / neutralized by the» cold vacuum» that constantly penetrates into the atmosphere!

The heat is quickly radiated back into the atmosphere and joins the rest of the radiant energy in the atmosphere in the process of release to space.

The heat is quickly conducted or radiated back into the atmosphere and joins the rest of the energy in the atmosphere awaiting a successful release to space.

But that's actually an understatement by Gallup, since more than 97 % of the world's climatologists say that those carbon gases, which are given off by humans» burning of carbon - based fuels, are causing this planet's temperatures to rise over the long term, as those carbon gases accumulate in the atmosphere and also block the heat from being radiated back into outer space.

Most of the heat radiated by the surface is absorbed by trace gases in the overlying atmosphere and re-emitted in all directions.

CH, what percentage of heat is added to the atmosphere by burning compared to that added from hot sunlit surfaces, or the latent heat from all the oceans, or radiated heat from the ground?

It is nature's way to transport huge amounts of latent heat directly to the upper atmosphere where it can then radiate directly to space.

Some heat radiates back to space or trapped in biosphere Balance determines Earth's average temperature Gases that control in atmosphere are carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor.

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.

During a cooling phase, surface atmosphere could cool as heat is transported to upper atmosphere by more intense weather and then radiates away.

Part way there, but no quantitation yet: of the 3.77 W / m ^ 2 radiated back dowwnard, most goes to increased rate of evaporation of the water at the surface, and much less goes to increased mean temp increase at the surface; hence increased rate of non-radiative transfer of heat from surface to upper atmosphere, slight increase in rainfall as hydrological cycle is faster, and slight increase in cloud cover.
