(1) What percentage of the samples were taken on sunny days vs cloudy days (
effects radiative heat transfer)?
Not exact matches
you're missing the point —
radiative heat transfer is the smallest part of the climate system — it just works better for their pet theory — called the greenhouse
effect — that was proven wrong almost a century ago!
In the latter case it is about
heat transfer and the way climate science has bungled the thermodynamics, in the former it is not about the
radiative greenhouse
effect as that is not about reflection.
The immediate
effect GHG's is to influence
radiative heat transfer, but nobody knowledgeable thinks that convection would not be important as well.
The big difference between this scenario is that the radiation from the lamp AND the radiation from the glass originate in materials at significantly higher temperatures than the gases and hence
heat IS
transferring from HOT to COLD unlike the fanciful «back
radiative greenhouse
effect» which truly defies the laws of Physics relying instead on pixie dust magic!
It is essentially the result of a balance between (a) the stabilizing
effect of upward
heat transport in moist and dry convection on both small and large scales and (b), the destabilizing
effect of
radiative transfer.
There is no
radiative effect or
radiative transfer of
heat across an opaque material like the air (figure 6 - A except in the window where 20 W / m ² go un-intercepted from surface to cosmos).
It is not the infrared emission that cools the surface as in the so - called
radiative equilibrium models because the net
radiative heat transfer surface to air is about nil, but the evaporation whose thermostatic
effect can not be overstated: increasing the surface temperature by +1 °C increases the evaporation by 6 %; where evaporation is 100 W / m ², this removes an additional 6 W / m ² from the surface.
There would be some small changes in the
radiative heat transfer within the atmosphere, but this would also have a very small
effect, because the convection compensates the changes automatically in troposphere.
The problem is that most scientists haven't a clue about practical conductive, convective,
radiative heat transfer so are easy meat for the charlatans who have made a good career out of pretending there's an
effect of CO2.
2) The
effects of clouds and aerosols on
radiative heat transfer, which are many and varied and still being studied with many questions open.
The reason this warms the surface is most easily understood by starting with a simplified model of a purely
radiative greenhouse
effect that ignores energy
transfer in the atmosphere by convection (sensible
heat transport) and by the evaporation and condensation of water vapor (latent
heat transport).
According to Lindzen, if there were only
radiative transfer of
heat, that 323w / m2 of backradiation would create a greenhouse
effect of 77C instead of 15C [288K]; the greenhouse
effect is only working at less than 25 % of its potential.
For a comprehensive GCM I can count oceans, land, atmosphere, ice, biological processes, organic and inorganic chemical processes, human - made sources and other
effects,
radiative energy transport, conduction and convective
heat transfer, phase change, clouds and aerosols, as some of the important system components, phenomena, and processes.
