David Benson, Based solely on the fact that Earth was 33 degrees warmer than its blackbody temperature, on what was known of the absorption spectrum of CO2 and on the fact that Earth's climate did not exhibit exceptional stability characteristic of systems with negative feedback, I'd probably still go with restricting CO2 sensitivity to 0 to + infinity.

Now, the best thing would be to be able to take your class into space and point your $ 50 sensor at the Earth from the Space Station, so you could see that the radiation going out is like a blackbody at 255K instead of the actual surface temperature of the Earth.

If the emissivity of the earth is 1.0, its brightness temperature is the same as its Planck blackbody temperature.

Over this is superimposed a set of smooth curves of ideal blackbody radiation, labeled with temperatures.

At equilibrium, it will have a temperature at which the blackbody flux at 15 microns would be half of the actual OLR at 15 microns.

Since the 155 W / m2 GHE is the GHE forcing based on the present climate (in the sense that removing all GH agents (only their LW opacity, keeping solar radiation properties constant) results in a forcing of -155 W / m2 at TOA for the present climate, and we know that without any GHE, in the isothermal blackbody surface approximation, the temperature will fall approximately 33 K without any non-Planck feedbacks), it can be compared to smaller climate forcings made in the context of the present climate (such as a doubling CO2.)

Scattering may also drive the distribution over polarizations toward an equilibrium (which would be, at any given frequency and direction, constant over polarizations so long as the real component of the index of refraction is independent of polarization) Interactions wherein photons are scattered by matter with some exchange of energy will eventually redistribute photons toward a Planck - function distribution — a blackbody spectrum — characteristic of some temperature, and because the exchange involves some other type of matter, the photon gas temperature (brightness temperature) will approach the temperature of the material it is interacting with -LRB-?

It makes also the total number of photons slightly decrease with distance, following the blackbody temperature, until the photosphere is reached, then we have basically only the 1 / r ^ 2 law.

In a linear approximation (that the blackbody spectral flux as a function of local temperature changes linearly over optical thickness going down from TOA, down to a sufficient optical depth), a doubling of CO2 will bring the depth of the valley halfway towards half of the OLR (the OLR at 15 microns will decrease by 25 % per doubling — remember this is before the temperature responds).

... the intensity will thus be the blackbody intensity for the temperature found at unit optical depth distance from the point of view.

Depending on the lapse rate in the stratosphere, the hill in the downward flux could reverse at some point, particularly if their is a large negative lapse rate in the base of the stratosphere — but I don't think this tends to be the case; anyway, let's assume that the CO2 valley in the TRPP net upward flux only deepens until it saturates at zero (it saturates at zero because at that point the upward and downward spectral fluxes at the center of the band are equal to the blackbody value for the temperature at TRPP).

But when optical thickness gets to a significant value (such that the overall spatial temperature variation occurs on a spatial scale comparable to a unit of optical thickness), each successive increment tends to have a smaller effect — when optical thickness is very large relative to the spatial scale of temperature variation, the flux at some location approaches the blackbody value for the temperature at that location, because the distances photons can travel from where they are emitted becomes so small that everything «within view» becomes nearly isothermal.

I.absorbed / I.incident = absorptivity; I.absorbed = I.emitted; I.incident = B.emitted (because they have the same brightness temperature, where B.emitted is what would be emitted by a blackbody, and is what would be in equilibrium with matter at that temperature), emissivity = I.emitted / B.emitted; therefore, given that absorptivity is independent of incident intensity but is fixed for that material at that temperature at LTE, and the emitted intensity is also independent of incident intensity but is fixed for that material at that temperature, emissivity (into a direction) = absorptivity (from a direction).

So the intensity of radiation (at some frequency and polarization) changes over distance, such that, in the direction the intensity is going, it is always approaching the blackbody value (Planck function) for the local temperature; it approaches this quickly if the absorption cross section density is high; if the cross section density is very high and the temperature doesn't vary much over distance, the intensity may be nearly equal to the Planck function for that location; otherwise its value is a weighted average of the Planck function of local temperature extending back over the path in the direction it came from.

... The GHE TOA forcing of 155 W / m2 is approximatly the difference between the blackbody fluxes at 255 K and 288 K; thus if maitaining 288 K surface temperature, removing it...

For a grey gas, the skin layer temperature is such that the corresponding blackbody flux is 1/2 of the OLR, absent solar heating of the skin layer.

So while, in the isothermal blackbody surface approximation, if the starting surface temperature is 288 K and we know the OLR is reduced from surface emission by 150 W / m2 via GHE, we know that removing all greenhouse agents will have a TOA forcing of -150 W / m2, (and some forcing at the tropopause, etc.) which will cool the surface temperature to about 255 K at equilibrium, absent non-Planck feedbacks.

For a small amount of absorption, the emission upward and downward would be about the same, so if the upward (spectral) flux from below the layer were more than 2 * the (average) blackbody value for the layer temperature (s), the OLR at TOA would be reduced more than the net upward flux at the base of the layer, decreasing CO2 TOA forcing more than CO2 forcing at the base, thus increasing the cooling of the base.

The difference in radiant flux will be smaller between 222 K and 255 K, and larger between 288 K and 321 K, and it will take a greater GHE TOA forcing to reduce the effective radiating temperature (the temperature of a blackbody that would emit a radiative flux) at TOA from 288 K to 277 K as it would to reduce it from 277 K to 266 K, etc..

Let's assume that it is the 15 micron OLR that controls the skin temperature; the blackbody OLR (at 15 microns) for the skin temperature will be half of the actual OLR.

Except for: — Your claims that bidirectional EM violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics; — Your sentient detector that received no energy from the object it is pointed at but radiates energy according to the temperature it is point at allowing you to see beyond the edge of the observable universe (Still awaiting the Nobel prize for that one no doubt); — Your perfectly radiating blackbody that does not radiate according to its temperature; — Your claims EM energy interferes which prevents energy from a colder body reaching a warmer one — a concept which would mean it would be impossible to see your reflection in a mirror.
