Using global climate models and NASA satellite observations of Earth's energy budget from the last 15 years, the study finds that a warming Earth is able to restore its temperature equilibrium through complex and seemingly paradoxical changes in the atmosphere and the way radiative heat is transported.

«This emphasizes the importance of large - scale energy transport and atmospheric circulation changes in restoring Earth's global temperature equilibrium after a natural, unforced warming event,» Li said.

Furthermore, the key global energy balance consideration for the terrestrial greenhouse that is in hydrostatic and thermal equilibrium, is that the solar energy that is absorbed by the ground surface and atmosphere must be balanced by the outgoing LW emission to space.

Starting from an old equilbrium, a change in radiative forcing results in a radiative imbalance, which results in energy accumulation or depletion, which causes a temperature response that approahes equilibrium when the remaining imbalance approaches zero — thus the equilibrium climatic response, in the global - time average (for a time period long enough to characterize the climatic state, including externally imposed cycles (day, year) and internal variability), causes an opposite change in radiative fluxes (via Planck function)(plus convective fluxes, etc, where they occur) equal in magnitude to the sum of the (externally) imposed forcing plus any «forcings» caused by non-Planck feedbacks (in particular, climate - dependent changes in optical properties, + etc.).)

IF the energy required by the GCMs to create the rise in GHG induced temperature comes from the outflow to space (per Hank's model in 137, which I thought was pretty reasonable), BUT IF the GCMs are required to have inflow = outflow @TOA (ie equilibrium — per # 142 & the formal publications» descriptions of the GCMs from GISS etc,) THEN WHERE IN (rhetorical) HELL does the energy come from to create GHG Global warming?

When above the equilibrium level BNO (S) will require additional surface energy to maintain the global temperature and will require to store energy away when temperature is below the equilibrium level.

Climate sensitivity in its most basic form is defined as the equilibrium change in global surface temperature that occurs in response to a climate forcing, or externally imposed perturbation of the planetary energy balance.

Once energy from CO2 and H2O begins to leak into outer space, LTE is violated, temperatures * must * fall until a more global thermal equilibrium is established with incoming thermal radiation and convection.

This asserts the existence of a global equilibrium and atates that mass and energy are conserved.

It doesn't take a lot of knowledge of physics to understand the second law of thermodynamics and how a system with a thermal gradient can never be in a state of global, stable, «energy equilibrium» (whatever the hell that means) unless it violates it.

However what I do say is that if other factors alter albedo (or any other component of the global energy budget) then the jets will move in response to that other forcing in order to try to move back towards equilibrium between the temperature of the ocean surface and the temperature at the tropopause.

Specific topical /, propulsion, and gas separations; 2) simulations and methodological advances aimed at developing new thermal fluids for geothermal and solar thermal energy conversion; and 3) phase equilibria simulations of a new class of low global warming potential refrigerants.

It's just fundamental physics that this large radiative forcing must result in global warming until the Earth reaches a new energy equilibrium at a higher temperature.

The Earth's atmosphere, satisfying the energy minimum principle, is configured to the most effective cooling of the planet with an equilibrium global average vertical temperature and moisture profile.

For an equilibrium climate, global mean outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) necessarily balances the incoming absorbed solar radiation (ASR), but with redistributions of energy within the climate system to enable this to happen on a global basis.

There is currently a global energy imbalance, and reaching a new equilibrium state will take over a century.

The underlying global equilibrium temperature is set not by GHGs but by solar shortwave input to the oceans and atmospheric pressure (which sets the energy value of the latent heat of vaporisation).

Climate sensitivity (S) is the equilibrium global surface temperature change (ΔTeq) in response to a specified unit forcing after the planet has come back to energy balance, 5.1 i.e. climate sensitivity is the eventual (equilibrium) global temperature change per unit forcing.

Conservation of energy and a global radiative energy transport equilibrium temperature for the earth are two unrelated concepts.

Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS): the global mean surface warming necessary to balance the planetary energy budget after a doubling of atmospheric CO2.

Once the magmatism ceases the energy is gradually lost (with declining global temperature) until equilibrium is reached again (8 degrees colder than today).

At its most basic, global warming is trivial, and beyond any doubt: add more energy to a system (by adding more infra - red absorbing carbon dioxide to the atmosphere), and the system gets hotter (because, being knocked out of equilibrium, it will heat up faster than it loses heat to space, up and until it reaches a new equilibrium).
