ie does a slightly lower density of air mean a slightly lower ground level temperature (temperature normally decreases with height at the lower air density), so that in reality adding CO2 and subtracting more O2 actually causes miniscule or trivial global COOLING, and the (unused) ability of the changed atmosphere to absorb radiation energy and transmit it to the rest of the air is overruled or limited by the ideal gas law?

If the temperature doesn't decline with height in that layer (perhaps because of solar heating), it is still the case that increasing the LW optical thickness will, by concentrating the source of OLR into a yet thinner layer at the top of the atmosphere, remove some of the cooling of the lower part of the original OLR source (by adding additional downward LW flux from above, replacing the darkness of space), thus tending to cause warming there.

# 157, Alastair, I am not keen on Tropopause heights because they cause a warming below, it is rather tropopause heights are higher because it is warmer below, there is also tropopause inversions triggered by higher Ozone concentrations, at the point where the tropopause starts you will invariably find the beginning of much higher ozone concentrations.

The declining density gradient with height (caused by gravity) permits lighter, warmer air to rise further away from the surface than can colder, heavier air at the same upward pressure gradient force.

Heat (not latent heat) is removed prior to condensation by conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy which then provokes condensation and when the phase change occurs the release of latent heat causes the air parcel to rise a little further with additional conversion of KE to PE until it reaches the correct lapse rate temperature for its height and then it stops rising and begins to descend.

«The sun causes latitudinal climate zone shifting with changes in the degree of jetstream zonality / meridionality by altering the ozone creation / destruction balance differentially at different heights above the tropopause.

I've already argued that taking any gas and without doing any work causing it to separate into hotter and colder gas is a horrible, egregious violation of the second law, yet the entire gas column is by construction hydrodynamically stable, with a density strictly decreasing with height and without the slightest thing to cause bulk convection or other movements of air where «work» can be done.

That then causes the more positive AO by reducing the strength of the inversion at the tropopause (usually represented by height — higher means weaker and lower means stronger).

The temperature gradient combined with the height difference between the surface radiating to space and the solid ground causes a temperature difference, maintained by the external work done by convection, that keeps the ground warmer than the radiating surface.

There is a temperature gradient caused by atmospheric radiations — warm air rises, expands and cools in lower pressure at height — but this is just the lapse rate and doesn't create cooler temps at height.
