We may — like the IPCC — draw the conclusion that the radiant flux changes are dominated by cloud radiative forcing changes without information on clouds.
Refraction, specifically the real component of refraction n (describes bending of rays, wavelength changes relative to a vacuum, affects blackbody fluxes and intensities — as opposed to the imaginary component, which is related to absorption and emission) is relatively unimportant to shaping radiant fluxes through the atmosphere on Earth (except on the small scale processes where it (along with difraction, reflection) gives rise to scattering, particularly of solar radiation — in that case, the effect on the larger scale can be described by scattering properties, the emergent behavior).
For a sufficiently small amount of CO2, adding double the amount would have approximately double the effect on radiant intensities and fluxes — at all frequencies, at all directions.
Radiation transfers heat across different scales at different optical thicknesses for different frequencies; the net radiant flux depends more on temperature variations that occur over distances on the order of a unit of optical thickness, so the net flux can be through smaller - scale temperature variations.
JimD, BTW, I was curious how much impact the isolation of the Antarctic had on global temperatures based on the normal radiant balance, so i did some quick estimates using the Meridional energy flux based on the satellite based SST OI v2 data.
The Wong et al plot shows the best data available on ocean heat storage and toa radiant flux pre 2000.
To close the energy budget needs data on toa radiant flux.
Now all figures on the diagram are all FLUXES, not a mixture of fluxes and maximum radiant powers as if against empty FLUXES, not a mixture of fluxes and maximum radiant powers as if against empty fluxes and maximum radiant powers as if against empty space.
