From what I gather, the ocean, being the huge black body it is, emits a heck of a lot of radiation, a small portion of that gets absorbed by the occasional water vapor molecule (which probably also came from the ocean) or CO2 molecule (which also may have come from the ocean).

The device is composed of a polymer base containing an array of imprinted or shaped «hydrogels,» a mesh of molecules that can absorb water like a sponge.

The prevailing belief is that molecules in the food, particularly water, absorb energy from the waves through dielectric heating.

(The mechanism for this has to do with how water is absorbed in the gut - both sodium and several amino acids are used as exchanges for water molecules in the cells lining the GI tract, and without amino acids in the gut it is difficult to hydrate properly... leading to sugars remaining in the gut and not being absorbed either).

The body needs to absorb these solutes in order to optimally absorb the water, which means the more electrolytes, sugars, and other molecules in the gut, the longer this will take.

TheraH2O reduces water molecule size to create water that is easily absorbed and enhances Advanced Cellular Hydration (ACH).

It also seems that even though the selective absorption of specific energy bands by different molecules IS the mechanism to add energy to the air, the energy absorbed by CO2 & especially Water Vapor is extremely rapidly dispersed by molecular collisions to ALL the components of the atmosphere, so that the N2 and O2 also heatup, and all the atmospheric components assume a uniform temperature (ie global warming).

Only molecules made of at least three atoms absorb heat radiation and thus only such trace gases makes the greenhouse effect, and among these CO2 is the second most important after water vapor.

just a small example: rain washes CO2 from the air into the sea - > water turns CO2 into carbonic acid - > coral absorbs that compound — > keeps the carbon for itself - > releases the oxygen from the CO2 molecule, to replenish the seawater with oxygen.

Reflected IR energy coming off the earth after solar energy has heated it would be absorbed and instantly, at the speed of light, dispersed by susceptible molecules like carbon dioxide and water vapor in a random three - dimensional manner, thus halving the energy re-radiated back towards the earth.

He found that gases and vapors whose molecules had three or more atoms, such as water vapor and CO2, absorbed much more of the thermal radiation passing through the tube than did two - atom molecules such as oxygen and nitrogen.

The CO2 is then released into the water as the materials decay, and most of it becomes absorbed in the sea - water by combining chemically with water molecules (H2O).

So shortwave forcing from the sun penetrates the ocean to a depth limited by adulterants which eventually absorb it all and thereby thermalize the water molecules.

AGWSF plays on the technical meaning and general meaning of «absorbed» to make you think the water molecules are actually absorbing the visible energy, they can't.

It is not absorbed at all, not even by the electrons of the water molecules.

Because microwave oven were designed to emit a wavelength that H2O water molecule absorbs.

Visible light can not heat water, it is not absorbed at all but even if it was on the electronic transition level, this is not the level capable of moving the whole molecule into vibration which is how something is heated up.

Not being absorbed by real world water, visible is not only not capable because of its tiny scale of moving the whole molecule of water into vibration which is what it takes to heat water, but it isn't even able to be absorbed by the electrons of the water molecules as the electrons of the molecules of air absorb it, so water doesn't reflect / scatter visible light on the electrons of molecule level as does air, but gives up and passes it along, and so, visible is transmitted through, also, unchanged, but much delayed.

So now we have a whole generation, because it was deliberately introduced into the education system, who believe the idiotic fisics «that visible light is capable of heating the water in the oceans», when in the real world and real world physics, a) water is a transparent medium for visible light, it doesn't absorb visible light at all but transmits it through unchanged, and b) visible light in the real world works on the electronic transition level on meeting matter, this level is tiny, it isn't capable of moving whole molecules of matter into vibration which is what it takes to heat water.

Early in the 19th century, scientists began to speculate that the Earth, surrounded by the frigid vacuum of space, was habitable because its atmosphere contained special molecules like CO ₂ and water vapor, molecules that can absorb heat rays emanating from the Earth and thereby trap its heat.

David Arthur @ 17 «Water molecules absorb sensible energy at the surface when they evaporate, and re-release that energy at whatever tropospheric height when they re-condense.

Energy absorbed is energy absorbed — once DLR is absorbed it is indistinguishable from any other source of energy in water molecules.

Due to this loss of energy, the temperature of the remain water has dropped (1 / heat capacity = 0.24 degK / (kJ / kg)-RRB- OR the lost energy must be imported by: conduction (collisions transferring kinetic energy), convection (a new group of molecules with a new average energy), or absorbing radiation.

Radiation at these wavelengths can not be radiated directly into space from the surface because these photons are easily absorbed by water and CO2 molecules.

So during a high pressure, distant objects (mountains etc) appear more distant, with less visible definition to the details, and appear closer with greater visible detail pre a change in the weather (its very noticeable)... Is this the result of the SW light being scattered / or absorbed by the greater density o water molecules in the atmosphere during a high pressure system?

I have no concept of how often a photon will «tip» a molecule to evaporate, but I don't think it's a high proportion because one thing I do have a concept of is that the density of photons in a 400W / m2 beam of DLR is far greater than the number of water molecules capable of absorbing that DLR.
