So, really, it's a moment of
flux in which the stakes are very
high but it's one in which fundamentally, people didn't know
how to disagree.
My question is,
how do expect to be able to maintain a much
higher temperature gradient during the LGM than we have today between tropics and
high latitudes, since this would tend to increase heat
flux.
Certainly
high methane concentrations indicate emission
fluxes, but it's not straightforward to know
how significant that
flux is in the global budget.
That doens» t affect the equilibrium increase in the upward
flux at TRPP in response, though it may change
how much of that is absorbed by the stratosphere (perhaps a reduction due to shielding of water vapor and CO2 wings in the stratosphere by increased tropospheric water vapor (as it would by an increase in clouds, particularly
higher clouds)-- PS feedbacks also change the baseline spectral
flux in the vicinity of the CO2 band.
Although warmer temperatures have been correlated with
higher rates of CH4 production across a range of ecosystems (Yvon - Durocher et al. 2014), annual - scale reservoir GHG data are currently too limited to make inferences on
how seasonal biases may either under or overestimate annual - scale
fluxes.
Here is
how the more active sun would deplete ozone in the
higher layers so as to cool them and thereby accelerate the upward energy
flux from the stratosphere below which then cools instead of warming when the sun is more active:
Ben Wouters, At the link you provided you state, «magma erupting continuously at plate boundaries, a small but reasonably steady
flux» Considering that there is something like 45,000 miles of spreading centers, erupting over a width of a few miles, and that the temperature of the magma is very
high, I'm curious
how you came to the conclusion that it was a «small»
flux.
