«The new definition
of effective emissivity of non-isothermal rough surface and its approximate expression for continuous canopy vegetation» Chen IEEE explore
The use
of effective emissivity already accounts for the greenhouse effect.

The
effective emissivity from the surface
of the ocean above that little millimeter or two
of air gap is about 0.857, on average, so the oceans would require a 2.18 instead
of 5.35 as the multiplier resulting in 1.5Wm - 2 at the surface.
Now I did use the word «averages over the planetary surface», but these obviously weighted averages - the
effective temperature is weighted by the fourth power
of itself, and the
effective emissivity is weighted by the forth power
of local temperature.
The precise method
of calculating the
effective absorptivity or
emissivity for a gas body
of finite dimensions is quite complex but for engineering calculations an approximate method developed by Hottel (1) yields results
of satisfactory accuracy.
The Stefan - Boltzmann Law requires heat flux, the Stefan - Boltzmann constant, and the
emissivity of the surface (or
effective emissivity of a gas).
The precise method
of calculating the
effective absorptivity or
emissivity is quite complex and is given in -(1) Trans.
