If we were to add H2O molecules to the equation, unlike CO2 which is evenly distributed throughout the atmosphere, the H2O molecules would be clustered at
the bottom of the atmosphere near earth surface.
«The ~ 7µ and ~ 15µ generated by the heating of the air also emerge from the top or
bottom of the Atmosphere, but there are fewer of them because they keep getting absorbed and re-emitted, each time with some transferred to the central ~ 10µ portion of the longwave band.»
As I read that paper, albedo is held at a fix value for a given latitude, not including ice surfaces and that ground temperature is set to track
bottom of the atmosphere temperature with a lag of 10 minutes.
Thinking about the myth that the CO2 should sink to
bottom of the atmosphere, I did a quick calculation.
So the mean input to
the bottom of the Atmosphere (BOA) is a more or less smooth, black - body - like curve at some temperature, probably around 270 K, more or less, since this is the Arctic.
So the temperature at
the bottom of the atmosphere is indeed much colder than at the top.
Also, although light can make it down to large depths, I don't think the heating is as concentrated at the bottom of the ocean as it is at
the bottom of the atmosphere (although this may depend on the ocean depth... e.g., how much light gets all the way down to the ocean floor).
Since
the bottom of the atmosphere (the troposphere) is heated strongly from below, it turns out that the actual lapse rate in this part of the atmosphere is usually close to the (appropriate dry or moist) adiabatic lapse rate.
The ~ 33K increase in temps that we enjoy is available only because we live at
the bottom of the atmosphere.
On the other hand, there are only two exits from the Atmosphere for radiative energy, 1) out the Top of the Atmosphere (TOA) to Space and 2) out

the bottom of the atmosphere to — 70C at the tropopause, which is the atmospheric boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere.
It looks like you are ignorant of the extreme difficulty of measuring
the bottom of the atmosphere from a position outside the top of it, compared with the ease of measuring
the bottom of the atmosphere from within it.
So instead of average molecule going
bottom of atmosphere up to top in a minute, it's staying basically in same location for hours or indefinitely.
(as would be the kinetic energy at
the bottom of the atmosphere), right seb!
We speculated that, due to the gas laws, there should also be a natural temperature profile between
the bottom of the atmosphere and the top — merely due to the presence of the bulk gases (nitrogen & oxygen).
We hqppen to have such a star that delivers EM energy to the bottom of the transparent atmosphere, and that energy warms
the bottom of the atmosphere by all the well known thermal processes, until the energy loss rate, eventually limited by radiation, matches the supply rate from the star.
They even measure the difference between top of atmosphere and
bottom of atmosphere, directly proving that yes, the atmosphere absorbs energy from bands all over the spectrum.
That
the bottom of the atmosphere is necessarily its warmest part does not mean that the planet is hotter.
The bottom of the atmosphere is warmer than the average of the atmosphere for reasons which are not due to a «radiative greenhouse effect», not the least of which reason that that greenhouse effect doesn't exist and violates the laws of thermodynamics.
Where Absorption and Re-radiation matters is at the top and
bottom of the atmosphere.
On average, the energy «budget» is balanced both at the top and at
the bottom of the atmosphere.
Temperature sensitivity at
the bottom of the atmosphere is also not the same as gray body or TOA sensitivity.
If in exceeds out and the diffential MUST exist from top to
bottom of the atmosphere, then before the hotter air can migrate to the deep ocean, the daily temerature cycling will force the hotter air at the bottom into an overall equlibrium ie hotter air will rise — or more correctly since GHGs have heated the air up more at the bottom, then the sun induced daily warming will add more heat to the top, & less at the bottom to force the equilibrium — ie effectively hot air rising even if not in actuality.
In equilibrium, both the top of atmosphere and
bottom of atmosphere energy budget must be satisfied of course, but there's no non-radiative heat flux to space.
The bone - crushing pressures and eyebrow - singing temperatures maintain this water in a plasma state, creating a dense, deadly ocean at
the bottom of its atmosphere.
«When something wiggles at
the bottom of the atmosphere, how does that make other things, different things, wiggle at the top of the atmosphere?
Namely these factors are CAPE, which is Convective Available Potential Energy, which is the maximum amount of energy that a rising parcel (which [is] an arbitrary amount of mass) can have as it's rising through the atmosphere; wind shear, which is the difference in wind [vectors] at the top and
bottom of the atmosphere; and specific humidity, which is the ratio of water to the total mass of a moist system.
