There's also a number of interesting applications in the evolution of Earth's atmosphere that branch off from the runaway greenhouse physics, for example how fast a magma - ocean covered early Earth ends up cooling — you can't lose heat to space of more than about 310 W / m2 or so for an Earth - sized planet with an efficient water vapor feedback, so it takes much longer for an atmosphere - cloaked Earth to cool off from impact events than a body just radiating at sigmaT ^ 4.

The weakening of the Walker circulation arises in these models from processes that are fundamentally different from those of El Nià ± o — and is present in both mixed - layer and full - ocean coupled models, so is not dependent on the models» ability to represent Kelvin waves (by the way, most of the IPCC - AR4 models have sufficient oceanic resolution to represent Kelvin waves and the physics behind them is quite simple — so of all the model deficiencies to focus on this one seems a little odd).

The AGW claim from the comic cartoon KT97 and kin The Greenhouse Effect says that Shortwave, (near UV, visible and near infrared, but mostly visible) heats up land and oceans, that no longwave infrared from the Sun gets through the invisible undefined and unexplained barrier said to be like the glass of a greenhouse, and then the Shortwave heated land and oceans radiate out longwave infrared, (which in real physics is heat, also called thermal infrared).

Anyway, as I make the point here, The Greenhouse Effect is non-existant regardless of this mangling of real world physics, the comic cartoon of shortwave in and longwave out is stupid enough in claiming «that visible light heats ocean and lands and the heat direct from the Sun, thermal infrared, doesn't reach the Earth's surface and doesn't play any part in heating land and ocean», but, this warmist comic cartoon energy budget misses out the whole of the Water Cycle!

Notice the heating is in the upper ocean, scienceofdoom has 4 posts with the last being the mist interesting, from several years ago also.If there is large amounts of heat being retained in the upper surface of the ocean then this warmer surface must heat the atmosphere, the ocean physics imply greater lower atmosphere heat.
