•» According to Zhang (2007) thermal expansion in the lower latitude is unlikely because of the reduced salt rejection and upper - ocean density and the enhanced thermohaline stratification tend to suppress convective overturning, leading to a decrease in the upward ocean heat transport and the ocean heat flux available to melt sea ice.

The calculations estimate the reduction in the energy flux density with distance away from the sun (Gauss» theorem) and the black body radiation describing the rate of planetary heat loss.

If you reduce the rate of heat flux from the the planet to space by increasing the density of greenhouse gases and thus altering the thermal gradient, less heat will flow from the heat sink (ocean) to space.

It is qdot = — DIV Fv where qdot is the monochromatic heat generation rate of matter per unit volume and Fv is the monochromatic radiation flux density.

The atmosphere is analogous to a flexible lens that is shaped by the density distribution of the gas molecules, of the atmosphere in the space between the sphere holding them, and space; Incoming heat gets collected in many ways and places,, primarily by intermittent solar radiation gets stored, in vast quantities, and slowly but also a barrage of mass and energy fluxes from all directions; that are slowly transported great distances and to higher altitudes mostly by oceanic and atmospheric mass flows.

The numerical values of the temperatures themselves do not matter here; it is the value of the radiative flux densities at these temperatures that matter for heat transfer.

This presupposition is false since all that's required is an increase in total one dimensional (downward) heat flux and this flux need not be uniform — it need not be akin to the propagation of a density wave since that's just not how heat usually behaves.

In addition to the data from the radiometers, the Berkeley Lab scientists will get supplemental data by taking advantage of a separate, in - depth DOE climate study at the same location, which is using additional instruments and a balloon - borne sounding system to get information on temperature, cloud cover, the density and types of aerosols or pollution particles, heat fluxes and other climate variables like precipitation.
