What happens at the «top of atmosphere» — the level where outgoing radiation leaves for space, not itself a very easy concept — is the restoration of equilibrium, the increase in temperature that, through Helmholtz - Boltzmann at the Earth's brightness temperature 255K, restores the balance between incoming and outgoing energies.

Earth's energy balance In response to a positive radiative forcing F (see Appendix A), such as characterizes the present - day anthropogenic perturbation (Forsteret al., 2007), the planet must increase its net energy loss to space in order to re-establish energy balance (with net energy loss being the difference between the outgoing long - wave (LW) radiation and net incoming shortwave (SW) radiation at the top - of - atmosphere (TOA)-RRBIn response to a positive radiative forcing F (see Appendix A), such as characterizes the present - day anthropogenic perturbation (Forsteret al., 2007), the planet must increase its net energy loss to space in order to re-establish energy balance (with net energy loss being the difference between the outgoing long - wave (LW) radiation and net incoming shortwave (SW) radiation at the top - of - atmosphere (TOA)-RRBin order to re-establish energy balance (with net energy loss being the difference between the outgoing long - wave (LW) radiation and net incoming shortwave (SW) radiation at the top - of - atmosphere (TOA)-RRB-.

I think I understand why in theory changing the constituents in the atmosphere (ie adding anthropogenic CO2 or the Enhanced GH effect) could change the ability of the atmosphere to absorb outgoing energy (see the Y. Kushnir GISS / IDEO / Columbia U. summer 05 lecture notes and slides http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~kushnir/MPA-ENVP/Climate/, especially for absorbtion spectra), and result in a change in the slope of the temperature gradient from the TOA to ground level, and result in an increase in ground level temperatures.

Furthermore, the key global energy balance consideration for the terrestrial greenhouse that is in hydrostatic and thermal equilibrium, is that the solar energy that is absorbed by the ground surface and atmosphere must be balanced by the outgoing LW emission to space.

The general argument however is being discussed by rasmus in the context of planetary energy balance: the impact of additional CO2 is to reduce the outgoing longwave radiation term and force the system to accumulate excess energy; the imbalance is currently on the order of 1.45 * (10 ^ 22) Joules / year over the globe, and the temperature must rise allowing the outgoing radiation term to increase until it once again matches the absorbed incoming stellar flux.

In other words, greenhouse gases don't retain heat themselves, but rather redirect outgoing energy radiated by the surface and lower in the atmosphere, thereby delaying it's ultimate escape to spacIn other words, greenhouse gases don't retain heat themselves, but rather redirect outgoing energy radiated by the surface and lower in the atmosphere, thereby delaying it's ultimate escape to spacin the atmosphere, thereby delaying it's ultimate escape to space.

So, it seems to me that the amount of energy absorbed by CO2 in the bands that can be absorbed by CO2 (ie, some fraction of the total outgoing energy) is proportional to the fraction of CO2 in the atmosphere, unless you can somehow magically push all that CO2 into a thin shell that no photon of the required frequency can avoid.

Spencer + Braswell have shown that over the tropics on a shorter - term basis, the net overall feedback from clouds with warming is negative; this is largely due to an increase in reflection of incoming radiation by increased clouds with a smaller effect from the reduction of energy trapping high altitude clouds, which slow down outgoing radiation by absorbing and re-radiating energy.

Immediately after doubling CO2 (Figure B), the model climate is absorbing the same amount of energy from the sun as before (the incoming arrow in B is the same width as in A), but less energy is escaping to space (the outgoing arrow is narrower).

So it seems to me that the simple way of communicating a complex problem has led to several fallacies becoming fixed in the discussions of the real problem; (1) the Earth is a black body, (2) with no materials either surrounding the systems or in the systems, (3) in radiative energy transport equilibrium, (4) response is chaotic solely based on extremely rough appeal to temporal - based chaotic response, (5) but at the same time exhibits trends, (6) but at the same time averages of chaotic response are not chaotic, (7) the mathematical model is a boundary value problem yet it is solved in the time domain, (8) absolutely all that matters is the incoming radiative energy at the TOA and the outgoing radiative energy at the Earth's surface, (9) all the physical phenomena and processes that are occurring between the TOA and the surface along with all the materials within the subsystems can be ignored, (10) including all other activities of human kind save for our contributions of CO2 to the atmosphere, (11) neglecting to mention that if these were true there would be no problem yet we continue to expend time and money working on the problem.

It is simply energy conservation — the difference between incoming and outgoing energy is global warming or cooling in the period.

More energy outgoing and incoming will be stuck in the atmosphere longer due to the flypaper effect of reducing the absorption distance.

Assume a fixed rate of energy per unit time is being absorbed by and / or generated within an object; and at temperature T the object is in «heat transfer» equilbrium — i.e., the amount of outgoing energy per unit time is equal to the incoming radiation per unit time.

Tom Vonk is correct when he says that the following statements are over-simplifications and need corrections (in caps): «CO2 absorbs AND EMITS the outgoing infrared energy and warms the atmosphere TO A HIGHER TEMPERATURE THAN IT WOULD HAVE WITHOUT CO2» — or — «CO2 traps part of the infrared radiation between ground and the upper part of the atmosphere» AND IS THE MAJOR SOURCE OF INFRARED RADIATION FROM THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE TO SPACE.

Because ozone acquires infrared energy from outgoing radiation from the Earth itself that mid latitude air is warm and is further warmed, or at least tends to be maintained in its warmer condition as it approaches the pole.

Any system where energy is being accumulated in the form of ordering will by definition have a discrepancy between incoming «low - entropy» energy (visible photons) and outgoing «higher entropy» energy (heat).

Increased concentrations of greenhouse gases, such as CO2, reduce the amount of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) to space; thus, energy accumulates in the climate system, and the planet warms.

GHGs slow the release of Outgoing Long wave radiation («OLR»), allegedly reflected in the energy imbalance at the top of atmosphere.

GHGs lengthen the random walk that the energy takes while it is in the system, because they intercept the outgoing radiation and spread it into the surrounding air, where it wanders around until finally leaving.

(you can't have one thousanth more energy coming in each day, and the outgoing remaining the same for very long.)

Simply put the climate change debate is strictly whether it is changes to the incoming or outgoing energy that is causing a shift in the equilibrium temperature and all evidence points to the fact that it is the changes to the incoming energy that is by far the dominant driver with changes to the outgoing energy from the enhanced greenhouse effect too insignificant to even be detected.

Essentially this means that since there is no change to the outgoing energy temperature change must therefore be due to changes in incoming energy.

If GHGs block / capture some outgoing IR, they must surely do the same with incoming IR (which constitutes nearly 50 % of solar radiation in energy terms as I recall).

A temporary reduction in OLR means the incoming exceeds the outgoing radiation, which causes heat energy in the climate system to rise until the surface and troposphere temperature increases enough to restore the top - of - atmosphere radiation balance by increasing the OLR to the previous value.

I'm not aware that it is common knowledge that MODTRAN programs can calculate the change in outgoing radiant energy as a function of a change in surface temperature, all other factors held constant.

The excess gases in the atmosphere are believed to enhance the greenhouse effect by not only preventing infrared light from escaping into space, but also by absorbing more outgoing energy, leading to warmer surface temperatures.

Greenhouse gases don't block all outgoing radiant energy — it merely slows it down by capturing more infrared photons and re-emitting in all directions including down — increasing net energy retained at any instant in the atmosphere.
