Applying aperture photometry on the azimuthally averaged deconvolved PACS images and using a modified
blackbody of the form Bν · λ − β, as expected
for a grain emissivity Qabs ~ λ − β with β equal to 1.2 (representing amorphous carbon, Mennella et al. 1998), we derived a dust
temperature between 108 ± 5 K at 20 ′ ′ and 40 ± 5 K at 180 ′ ′.
For true disks, both the dust
temperatures inferred from the SEDs and the disk radii estimated from the images suggest that the dust is nearly as cold as a
blackbody.
The smooth dotted lines in the diagram labeled with
temperatures are the curves
for a simple
blackbody radiating at that
temperature.
If the optical thickness and
temperature distributions are such that the dominant spatial tendency in
temperature is to either increase or decrease (as opposed to fluctuate) from a location out to a substantial optical thickness away, then farther increases in optical thickness will bring the flux and intensities coming from that direction toward the values they would have
for a
blackbody with a
temperature equal to the
temperature at that location.
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.)
... 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.
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.
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 ba

(given by the Planck function or spectral
blackbody flux / area, respectively,
for T = BT, except when BT is the difference between upward and downward brightness
temperatures, in which case the differences between Planck functions or
blackbody fluxes must be used)
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.
I've inserted the
blackbody prediction
for each body so that you can compare it to actual
temperatures at that pressure point.
Nevertheless, at a certain point atmospheric
temperature rises along with pressure and far exceeds NASA's
blackbody prediction of 226.6 Kelvin
for Venus.
And that
temperature exceeds the
blackbody prediction of 81 K
for Saturn.
And
for the purpose of finding this
blackbody temperature, some panel painted black [and absorbed all the other wavelengths] with well insulated back will reach this theoretical
temperature.
At equilibrium with cell contents and source at the same
temperature, the spectrophotometer will see the same
blackbody curve and total energy flux
for T whether the cell is evacuated or filled with any gas or mixture of gases.
It seems to me that any layer from the surface to the highest limits of the atmosphere is radiating some roughly
blackbody looking spectrum corresponding to its own
Temperature; and much of that spectrum exits directly to space (assuming cloudless skies for the moment) with a spectrum corresponding to the emission temperature of that surface; but now with holes in it from absorption by GHG molecules or the atmospheric gases

Based on the insolation received by the Earth, allowing
for its estimated albedo and some internal core heat, the
blackbody temperature of the Earth is 254.3 K -LRB--18.8 °C).
So I cranked the numbers, and showed you that the radiation, even
for a
blackbody, of surfaces at liquid nitrogen
temperatures could not exceed 2 W / m2, trivial compared to the 400 W / m2 of real surfaces at earth ambient
temperatures.
When I first studied engineering heat transfer in the 1970s, the texts said to use
for the clear night sky an «effective
blackbody temperature of about -20 C (253K).
For example, a flat, perfect,
blackbody, receiving 965 W / m ^ 2 would, at equilibrium, have a
temperature of 361.2 K (88 ºC, 190.5 ºF)
Since the albedo looking into the small hole is very close to zero, the radiation coming out of that hole will be very close to the theoretical predicted
for a
blackbody whose
temperature is that of the inside of the hollow sphere.
I assumed you said that because you didn't understand that
for blackbodies we can measure
temperature equally well either in W / m2 or in Kelvins.
Observations agree with climate models that a 1.2 degC rise in surface
temperature produces a 2.5 W / m2 increase in OLR, not the 3.7 W / m2 increase expected
for a
blackbody.
I'm going to do that by assuming calculating the W / m2
for an two ideal
Blackbodies (that are radiating 1K different
temperature) over all wavelengths to get the delta
for the entire spectrum.
The article points out that a
blackbody model
for the moon that does not take into account the specific heat capacity of the moon generates a certain amount of error in predicting the maximum and minimum
temperatures.
The article disputes using
blackbody modeling, in total,
for calculating planetary surface
temperatures.
To be clear, the Hottel average is across the entire
blackbody emission
for that
temperature.
Tim, I have a spreadsheet of the Planck function similar to Ira's So I can call up a
blackbody spectrum
for any
temperature.
(This situation I have been attempting to indicate
for a few years, and is seen in many differing portions of «calculation conceptualisations» including the remittance behaviors of molecules being presented as «
blackbody» radiation linked to «atmospheric
temperature» when the reverse is the reality, these photons present the energy NOT retained as a «kinetic gain», thus have no link to «atmospheric» molecular
temperature.)
Radiation is emitted in proportion to the 4th power of
temperature —
for a
blackbody (ε = 1), E = σ.
Enter 4 under
blackbody properties
for temperature, press calculate, and note the calculated radiant emittance: 334.567 W / m2
Specifically,
for a differential area of the surface of a
blackbody at a single
temperature, the law gives the spectral distribution and the amount of energy radiated from that differential area into a differential solid angle.
For example, I believe the
temperature of a passive
blackbody object placed in the vicinity of an active
blackbody object will affect the
temperature of the active object.
If a second
blackbody object (no internal thermal energy source but with thermal conduction properties such that independent of the direction of incident radiation on the second object, the second object's surface
temperature will be everywhere the same) is placed next to but NOT touching the original object, when the two - object system reaches steady state (i.e.,
for each object, the rate of energy leaving the object will equal the rate of energy entering the object), the surface
temperature of the original object in the presence of the second object will be higher than it was in the absence of the second object.
For a
blackbody, climate sensitivity would be 1/4 dT / dS
For a surface
temperature of 288 K, this amounts to (1/4)(288K / 342 watts) = 0.21 K / watt
However, IR photos are generally taken fairly close to 10μ (FLIR video, looking
for objects whose
temperatures range around the
blackbody temperature of the surface of the Earth to,
for example, expose people walking across a field) where there is a window in the H2O absorption spectrum, or sometimes around 4μ (detection of vehicles with hot engines or tires) where there is another window.
For a start the definition of a
blackbody (neutrino BB) Perry's Chemical Engineering Handbook (McGraw - Hill) states «The characteristic properties of a
blackbody are that it absorbs all the radiation incident on its surface and that the quality and intensity of the radiation it emits are completely determined by its
temperature» Note the word surface.
