Since FIR heating solutions directly heat an object rather than warming the air around it, it is a far more efficient system than tradition
convection heating methods.

One of the three
methods of
HEAT transfer, the others being conduction and
convection.
, radiation is one of the three
methods of
heat transfer, conduction and
convection the other two.
This condition can be quite stable at night (see the near neutral residual layer page 31) Of course
convection is the major
method of
heat transfer in the atmosphere however how does
heat transfer when there is little or no
convection?
Convection is the
method of
heat transfer in a fluid, which our atmosphere is, that's how we get our winds and weather.
I agree that the main
method of
heating would be
convection until the temperature profile matched the dry adiabatic lapse rate.
However the main
method of
heat transfer in the atmosphere is
convection.
Now the
convection currents of air (the main
method of
heat transfer in the atmosphere) will be much weaker if there is little temperature difference between the Earth surface and the clouds.
