The absorptivity / emissivity of surfaces may get more clearly less than one at the lower end of the LWIR region, i.e. around 4 - 5 um but that has very little influence on the energy radiated by Earth surface, because most of the energy is radiated at longer wavelengths anyway.

The emissivity of a substance has nothing to do with how much radiation has been reflected or absorbed on its way to that substance.

To convert temperature to W / m ^ 2 requires assuming an emissivity which depends to an incredible degree on the choice of finish.

For example, road tar surfaces receive radiation (solar spectrum) from incident «sunlight»; some of which is absorbed and some reflected, so the surface warms, and re-radiates in a completely different thermal spectrum that depends on the surface temperature and its spectral emissivity.

The emissivity of the Earth is over 0.97 and a perfect black body is 1.0 so, for all intents and purposes, the Watts / m ^ 2 calculated by the Carleton spreadsheet based on Plank's Law may be off by only a small number of Watts / m ^ 2 and my main claim is that there are hundreds of Watts / m ^ 2 streaming down from the Atmosphere, so a few Watts here or there is a drop in a bucket.

(Because of the T ^ 4 dependence of radiative power on temperature, an emissivity of 0.99 rather than 1 leads to ~ 0.7 deg K of change in the predicted temperature.)

This is enough to raise the surface temperature quite a bit (the exact value depends on what assumptions you make about emissivity & albedo).
