YOU SHOULD BRUSH UP ON WHAT CLIMATE IS: -» there is no such a thing as `' earth's global climate» — there are many INDEPENDENT
different MICRO CLIMATES 1] Alpine climate 2] Mediterranean climate, 3] sea - level climate 4] high
altitude climate 5] temperate climates 6] subtropical climate, 7] tropical climate 8] desert climate 9] rainforest climates 10] wet climate 11] dry climate, as in desert AND THEY KEEP CHANGING; wet climate gets dry occasionally b]
even rains in the desert sometimes and improves.
Elsewhere, you've cited near - surface temperature inversions as examples of non-linearity, but globally, how close are we to linearity as a means if estimating surface temperature changes from those calculated for the tropopause,
even if the energy fluxes are quite
different at the
different altitudes?
