ABSTRACT «We investigate the interaction of infrared active molecules in the atmosphere with their own thermal background radiation as well as with radiation from an external blackbody radiator.

The work is an estimate of the global average based on a single - column, time - average model of the atmosphere and surface (with some approximations — e.g. the surface is not truly a perfect blackbody in the LW (long - wave) portion of the spectrum (the wavelengths dominated by terrestrial / atmospheric emission, as opposed to SW radiation, dominated by solar radiation), but it can give you a pretty good idea of things (fig 1 shows a spectrum of radiation to space); there is also some comparison to actual measurements.

David@288, I'm just going with physics, and I don't see how you get enough negative feedback to get a negative sensitivity AND get 33 degrees of warming over Earth's blackbody temperature.

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.

The emissivity of the surface in the infrared is unimportant because it behaves as though it were in a blackbody cavity in equilibrium with the lowest layers of the atmosphere.

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

Refraction, specifically the real component of refraction n (describes bending of rays, wavelength changes relative to a vacuum, affects blackbody fluxes and intensities — as opposed to the imaginary component, which is related to absorption and emission) is relatively unimportant to shaping radiant fluxes through the atmosphere on Earth (except on the small scale processes where it (along with difraction, reflection) gives rise to scattering, particularly of solar radiation — in that case, the effect on the larger scale can be described by scattering properties, the emergent behavior).

I find it difficult to see how the greenhouse gases, which create lines and bands in the blackbody spectrum of the Earth's radiation field, can also be radiating with an intensity determined by Planck's function.

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.

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).

Although that will be true in the mid atmosphere, do you agree that is not the case near the surface of the Earth where the greenhouse molecules are being excited by blackbody radiation from the Earth's surface, but are being relaxed by collisions with other air molecules such as N2 & O2?

4 % change in whole - spectrum blackbody flux per unit area, with larger % changes occuring at higher frequencies (shorter wavelengths):

In that case, while holding temperatures constant and non-photon material at LTE, along a path, absent scattering and reflection, the intensity is always tending to approach the local blackbody value; it will not actually reach the blackbody value if the temperature varies along the path with the same tendency.

His carefully considered response to the techinical issues raised here: «I received emails saying I'd wrongly assumed the Earth was a «blackbody» with no greenhouse effect at all (I hadn't).

Likewise if I illuminate it with a continuous blackbody spectrum some number of photons in the continuous spectrum are at the absorption frequency.

This was the blackbody radiator fed with 240 W, that need to transfer 240W at equilibrium to a reflective blanket that only absorbs 10 % of the incident energy.

Emissivity = proportion of emission with reference to a blackbody (it's a ratio) Emission = emissivity x what a blackbody would emit at that temperature (it's an absolute value)

If the radiaitve thermal equilibrium is both with the sun (a blackbody) and space (a blackbody), then no matter what kind of non-blackbody the earth is, absorptivity must still equal emissivity at every wavelength, unless someone is arguing that Kirchoff's law no longer holds.

Nevertheless, at a certain point atmospheric temperature rises along with pressure and far exceeds NASA's blackbody prediction of 226.6 Kelvin for Venus.

Or said differently if want to say Earth uniform temperature is about 5 C, this is fine - close enough - as long as you don't think this means Earth's average temperature is about 5 C. Or if want a real science, it's a bad idea to playing around with fictitious blackbodies.

But it's different story with solids [or liquids]- they can reflect but don't emit «higher temperature» unless they are at a higher temperature [see, blackbody temperature].

A flat panel with well insulated back with was a «blackbody» would reach the max temperature at certain distance from the sun.

Both match up with the blackbody spectra — except with bites taken out by the greenhouse gases given their absorption spectra.

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 themselves.

It is a blackbody temperature — they approximate the Earth as a black body with an infinite thermal conductivity — no temperature difference between day and night, no difference between summer and winter.

In general I agree with your assessment of the GHE on the moon paper, but we were discussing the question of why the moon is colder than the blackbody predication would have it be.

So you think that black sphere inside a series of glass spheres (with vacuum between them) would result in a temperature several times higher than an ideal blackbody in the same conditions?

Ian Schumacher: The reason you are struggling so much with the blackbody idea from the old physics textbook is that you are misinterpreting what it means.

A spherical cavity with a hole is an example and is «close» to a blackbody, therefore at MOST we can expect the earth to have energy densities of a black body (yes gravity complicates the actual temperature on the surface).

It is clear that you have seen diagrams that illustrate blackbodies as hollow spheres with a small hole in the shell.

They say (the texts, Stephan - Boltzmann, etc) that a spherical cavity with a hole in it will achieve temperatures of a blackbody.

looking at another analogy, the energy emitted by a 100 watt incandescent lightbulb, that emits heat and light across a wide range of frequencies, but lets just use heat and say that three feet from the bulb, it is IR, and we were to put a globe of aluminium foil around it to prevent convection, and in another simultaneous experiment we were to line the foil at the same distance with black paper or another blackbody material.
