In our papers, we experimentally show that the atmosphere is actually in
complete energy equilibrium — at least over the distances from the bottom of the troposphere to the top of the stratosphere, which the greenhouse effect theory is concerned with.
This explains why we found in Papers 1 and 2 that the atmosphere is in
complete energy equilibrium over distances of hundreds of kilometres, and not just in local energy equilibrium, as is assumed by the greenhouse effect theory.
As we will see below, it seems to be rapid enough to keep the atmosphere in
complete energy equilibrium over distances of hundreds of kilometres.
But, our results in Papers 1 and 2 suggested that the atmosphere were effectively in
complete energy equilibrium — at least over the distances from the bottom of the troposphere to the top of the stratosphere.
However, when we consider the conventional energy transmission mechanisms usually assumed to be possible, they are just not fast enough to keep the atmosphere in
complete energy equilibrium.
Not exact matches
If the atmosphere is in
complete thermodynamic
equilibrium, then this means that any «infrared
energy» which is absorbed by an «air parcel» is immediately redistributed throughout the atmosphere, to maintain thermodynamic
equilibrium.
