Including stratosphere adds only little uncertainty, which allows replacing the concept to effective radiative temperature leaving earth to open space, when CO2 concentration is changed, but troposphere and surface otherwise unmodified (the IPCC definition of radiative forcing allows stratosphere to adjust).

However, if one converts the total effects of all greenhouse gases, aerosols, etc. into an equivalent increase in CO2 concentration (by reference to their effective radiative forcing RF, that from a doubling of CO2 being F2xCO2), then what you suggest would be pretty much in line with the generic definition of TCR in Section 10.8.1 of AR5 WGI:

It can be transferred without any loss of accuracy to a change in the effective radiative temperature leaving troposphere.

Conversion from the forcing to a change in effective radiative black body temperature is well defined and without any additional uncertainty, when the effective radiative temperature is defined as the temperature of a black body that radiates as much IR energy as the Earth.

This is * not * the average value of the temperature T - that is why I called it an «effective radiative temperature», and not the «average temperature».

However, the greenhouse effect does determine the height of the effective radiative surface.

So, to summarise, GHGs in the atmosphere sets the height of the effective radiative surface.

Looking again at the change in the TOA energy balance, we call this change the effective radiative forcing or radiative flux perturbation RFP.

From that insight and their calculations they conclude the low - climate sensitivity model studies (suggesting climate sensitivity best estimate around 2 degrees Celsius) should be revised upwards to 2.6 degrees following differences in efficacies from «instantaneous radiative forcing» — and further revised upwards to 3 degrees [the value most studies agree on] when climate forcing efficacy is calculated from ERF — «effective radiative forcing».

Under «effective radiative forcing» 20th century observational studies match complex models and paleoclimatology's best estimates for CO2 climate sensitivity.

«Previous studies involving the GISS model found that rapid cloud changes in both hemispheres result from the rapid adjustment to aerosol forcing; effective radiative forcing isthus more hemispherically symmetric than instantaneous aerosol forcing.

This effective radiative forcing is the climate sensitivity calculation that incorporates temperature responses in the troposphere and land surface that are rapid compared to the ocean temperature response, using fixed - sea surface temperature experiments.

The «flaw» of low - ECS climate model studies may not be so much in aerosols, the NASA study suggests, as the effective radiative forcing scenario (with high climate sensitivity) is accompanied with relatively low value for aerosol efficacy:

I calculated the effective radiative temperature of an Earth without atmosphere, I think the usual value of 255K.

ERL — Effective Radiative Level.

This is because the above equation represents the effective radiative temperature of the Earth (including the clouds and atmosphere).

It bolsters the conclusions of earlier papers: the effective radiative forcing from ACI (ERFaci) is smaller than thought, perhaps near zero.

The radiative forcing once rapid adjustments are accounted for is termed the effective radiative forcing.

Since the effective radiative altitude is in the troposphere where temperature decreases with altitude, the rate at which the greenhouse gases emit to space slows with increasing greenhouse gas concentrations.

In chapter 11.3.6.3 they conclude: ``... it is concluded that the hiatus is attributable, in roughly equal measure, to a decline in the rate of increase in effective radiative forcing (ERF) and a cooling contribution from internal variability (expert judgment, medium confidence)».

The difference in radiant flux will be smaller between 222 K and 255 K, and larger between 288 K and 321 K, and it will take a greater GHE TOA forcing to reduce the effective radiating temperature (the temperature of a blackbody that would emit a radiative flux) at TOA from 288 K to 277 K as it would to reduce it from 277 K to 266 K, etc..

Rather, they were calculated from the GMST response of CMIP5 models, their effective climate sensitivity parameters and their radiative imbalances.

As you rise, the atmosphere becomes less dense, convection less effective, until eventually heat transfer is dominated by radiative heat transfer.

However, it is much easier to figure out what happens when you add more radiative gases to an atmosphere that already has them: And, the answer is that it increases the IR opacity of the atmosphere, which increases the altitude of the effective radiating level and hence means the emission is occurring from a lower - temperature layer, leading to a reduction of emission that is eventually remedied by the atmosphere heating up so that radiative balance at the top - of - the - atmosphere is restored.

I would add that 3.7 W / m2 is equivalent to a 1 degree change in effective outward radiative temperature, so the troposphere has to warm by 1 degree to cancel the effects of doubling CO2.
