If Victor wasn't so stupid & trollish I would suggest Rob Painting's «How Increasing Carbon Dioxide Heats The Ocean» over on SkS and, by way of preparation, the added quote from IPCC AR5 WG1 3.4.1 «The net air — sea heat flux is the sum of two turbulent (latent and sensible) and two radiative (shortwave and longwave) components.»

So while the general idea of turbulence in air is correct, your calculation underestimates the tendency for turbulent flow.

Using the Reynolds number above in your calculation, you can see that turbulent flow in air would happen (at a height of 1m above ground) at a velocity of 0.0315 m / s.

The air itself is mainly just limiting the rate of heat loss, more turbulent mixing and a higher flow rate just enhances the rate of loss.

One of the most important factors in cloud dynamics, for example, is entrainment, which is when convecting clouds take environmental air and fold it into themselves as they are rising — a turbulent exchange of air between clouds and their environment.

Turbulent mixing of warm air downward likely more common in recent years due to roughness changes, urbanization, sensible heat flux from warm, dark, irrigated vegetation etc..

Personally, I don't think the difference between turbulent and laminar flow is all that significant for this issue: In either case, you're going to be mixing air of one temperature («outside») with air of another («inside»).

Low pressure, high temperature air will always have the lowest density and rise to the top, and because air is a poor conductor of heat the air will stratify hot on top down to cooler on the bottom — an inverted lapse — until one gets to a turbulent zone that turns over diurnally.

But a source of great complexity in our spinning, turbulent, inhomogeneous air is the fact that it is largely heated from below, differentially by latitude, by surface properties, by cloud cover, and by time of day and time of year.

Weather in the boundary layer is quite similar to the rest of the troposphere, but it's generally windier (more «turbulent») and the air tends to have more water content.
