Hockey Schtick January 21, 2014 at 5:01 pm There remains a misunderstanding of the atmospheric GHG effect, especially the effect of the contribution of
downward long wave radiation to water.
Not exact matches
Francis & Hunter found a positive correlation between lack of ice and the
downward long -
wave radiation, something they attributed primarily to cloudiness.
I have asked a few oceanologists about skin effect and
downward mixing of energy from short and
long wave radiation, but there seem to be as many opinions as there are oceanologists.
Francis & Hunter found that the
downward long -
wave radiation associated with a retreating sea - ice extent is more important (a stronger effect) than cloud modulation of SW also associated with the sea - ice extent.
Heat flows
downward in the form of
long and short
wave radiation.
Downward long -
wave or infrared
radiation from the atmosphere to the surface is a vital component to warming the Earth's surface.
He uses Kirchhoff's law and the two energy balances (ground to lower atmosphere, upper atmosphere to space) to derive the result: The
long wave upward
radiation from the surface is limited to 1.5 times the short
wave downward radiation from the Sun.
Page 38 of that paper shows that
long wave radiation has been increasing over the duration of that 16 years until about 2003 at which time it goes flat or slightly
downward.
Also, since you agree with P&O's description of how the greenhouse effect works (i.e.
downward long -
wave radiation warms the lower atmosphere and the ground), will you retract statements like the following «-LSB-...] I demonstrate that the down - welling
radiation hypothesis divulged by the proponents of the anthropogenic global warming [is] incompatible with the laws of thermodynamics.»
I honestly do not know what people are measuring, when they claim to measure «
downward - welling
long -
wave radiation» or «back
radiation» or «sky
radiation» or whatever the preferred term of the day is.
