Not exact matches
If you find yourself judging others or feeling jealous of someone
else, remind yourself that the only person
absorbing that negative
energy is you.
Thus water doesn't play any role in the 3 - 4 micron band and all
energy absorbed there (as can be seen in the «total absorption and scattering» graph) is from CO2 alone and nothing
else, whatever the water content of the atmosphere.
And almost everyone
else assumes that all visible light is only
absorbed and then once heated from this absorption of
energy, it radiates as blackbody [it emits
energy according to it's temperature].
Thermal equilibrium doesn't mean the same temperature, if for example, a gas in getting hotter expands and rises becoming less dense and under less pressure it can move faster, it's using thermal
energy to move, there's no
energy lost, it's just become something
else, or, as temperature relates to kinetic
energy not thermal
energy then heat capacity comes into play, as water can
absorb a huge amount of thermal
energy before there's any rise in temperature, or whatever, but if you're equating all «
energy» to «heat» as thermal
energy then that's a different idea altogether, not all
energy is heat.
If the atmosphere is in TE over these distances, then any «extra»
energy that is
absorbed by CO2 by some part of the atmosphere will be redistributed throughout the atmosphere, or
else that part of the atmosphere will start deviating from TE.
Thus, all
else being equal, anything which warms the skin layer from above, including LWR, will reduce the rate of conductive heat transfer through that layer thereby reducing the rate at which the oceans dissipate
absorbed Solar
energy.
«The most relevant part of that universal what -
else is the requirement laid down by thermodynamics that, for a planet at a constant temperature, the amount of
energy absorbed as sunlight and the amount emitted back to space in the longer wavelengths of the infra - red must be the same.
Or has this been simplified to mostly account for how much the oceans
absorb energy, and since ocean
absorb the vast majority of
energy that reaches the earth surface, anything
else can be mostly be ignored?
