Some researchers also think it may be possible to compare the carbon,
nitrogen,
oxygen,
and other chemicals in a plume to «default» levels seen in asteroids, which were formed
at the dawn of the solar system —
and ask if life is manipulating the chemistry there, or
at least did so in the past.
And what about the entire ecological system of things, that works in harmony with us as humans for life to exist, from our atmosphere at 78 % nitrogen, 21 % oxygen down to the magnetosphere that comes from within the core of the earth and protects us from the sun's damaging electrically charged particl

The heavy chemical elements required for life (carbon,
oxygen,
nitrogen, phosphorous,
and so forth) took several billion years of cooking time
at the heart of stars before supernovas eventually dispersed them throughout space.
Like hydrogen,
oxygen,
and iodine,
nitrogen normally exists as two - atom molecules in the form of a gas
at room temperature.
They determined a material with less than 90 percent carbon
and enhanced by
oxygen, rather than
nitrogen or sulfur, worked best for both carbon capture
and methane selectivity, especially for materials activated
at temperatures approaching 800 degrees Celsius.
Heavier elements — including
nitrogen,
oxygen, iron, carbon
and more — were forged in the nuclear furnaces
at the cores of those first stars, then spewed into interstellar space when the stars exploded.
«The challenge of using ZnO to make these devices has stumped researchers for a long time,
and we've developed a solution that uses some very common elements:
nitrogen, hydrogen
and oxygen,» says Dr. Lew Reynolds, co-author of a paper describing the research
and a teaching associate professor of materials science
and engineering
at NC State.
Joe Reiss, vice president of marketing
at manufacturer American Science
and Engineering (AS&E) in Billerica, Mass., says low - atomic - number elements such as carbon,
oxygen, hydrogen
and nitrogen — common constituents of explosives — create a strong scattering effect visible in images that operators monitor on a screen yet discernible from the organic molecules in the human body.
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)-- Generated when
nitrogen in the air reacts with
oxygen at the high temperature
and pressure inside the engine.
They are particularly good
at identifying the position of light atoms such as hydrogen,

Nitrogen, in the form of nitric oxide (one
nitrogen atom
and one

at Mars (SAM) instrument suite aboard NASA's Curiosity rover, adding to the growing speculation that life could have once flourished on ancient Mars.
Researchers Dr. James Gerken
and Dr. Shannon Stahl
at CME used two metal - free catalysts, an organic nitroxyl (R2NO) molecule
and inorganic
nitrogen oxide (NOx) source, to promote
oxygen reduction.
Now, if you have all this very cold, nearly freezing water surrounding these ice caps, sucking up carbon dioxide out of the polar atmosphere,
at nearly the highest possible rate, 30 times faster than
oxygen,
and 70 times faster than
nitrogen, doesn't it stand to reason that the air that remains might just have a lot less carbon dioxide in it than the atmosphere across the rest of the planet?
At the freezing point, carbon dioxide is 30 times more soluble than
oxygen and 70 times more soluble than
nitrogen.
At 300K (27 C) ground state CO2 molecules are continually colliding with
oxygen,
nitrogen and other molecules.
> The concentration of CO2 is the wrong measure for deciding whether it is «tiny», because it compares the amount of CO2 with the amounts of
oxygen and nitrogen which don't absorb infra - red
at normal pressures.
Auroral emissions typically occur
at altitudes of about 100 km (60 miles)
and are often green, white, or reddish in colour depending on what species (atomic
oxygen, molecular
oxygen, or
nitrogen, respectively) is primarily emitting light.
Starting from 187 ppmv (typical for 20 KY), doubling four times brings the CO2 up to 3000 ppmv (typical for 60 MY) or 0.3 %, still a trace gas compared to water vapor
at most locations, let alone
oxygen and nitrogen.
As I've said many times before, my theories lead to the conclusion that it is not the total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere that is important, but the proportion of new hot CO2.If you doubt that, just take a look
at the specific heats of
oxygen,
nitrogen and carbon dioxide
Petra December 16, 2012
at 2:12 am said:» That
oxygen and nitrogen may insulate the earth against some cooling, does not preclude greenhouse gasses from being warmed by IR»
The liquid condensed
at the bottom evaporates creating local cooling
and rises; the way ocean water
and all water does from the surface as an enormous pool of evaporative phase change refrigerant for the surface (
and the atmospheric bath of
nitrogen /
oxygen).
The minus - 18 °C figure quoted by AGWScienceFiction fisics in its fake Greenhouse Effect energy budget, has been stolen from real physics where it refers to the Earth without any atmosphere
at all,
and that is predominantly
nitrogen and oxygen.
They called carbon dioxide,
and oxygen and nitrogen, «ideal gases»,
and said they behave as per basic ideal gas description (pre Van der Waals), in other words, they have taken all the properties
and process of real gases out of their «gases»
and reduced them to hard dots with no mass, (no volume, weight or attraction
and therefore nothing to be subject to gravity),
and they say these travel
at great speeds through empty space as per ideal gas, bouncing off each other in elastic collisions
and so «thoroughly mixing» that they can't be unmixed (without an immense amount of work being done, so for all practical purposes can not be unmixed).
Real World Earth with full atmosphere of mainly
nitrogen and oxygen, 15 °C Earth without any atmosphere
at all, mainly
nitrogen and oxygen, minus 18 °C, compare with the Moon Earth atmosphere of mainly
nitrogen and oxygen, but without water, 67 °C, think deserts
In which case, does the
oxygen and nitrogen in the earth's atmosphere emit significant amounts of radiation (
at night for example)?
Carbon dioxide
and nitrogen and oxygen have been reduced to a non-existant entity, a concept of a gas with no properties
and processes, as they've done with «all electromagnetic energy is the same
and all create heat on being absorbed», making them ideal gases without properties
and processes in the Greenhouse Effect — they have actually become hard dots of nothing without volume travelling
at great speeds under their own molecular momentum bouncing off each other in elastic collisions, as the description of the imaginary ideal gas in a container of real world physics textbooks.
It's
at this tiny electronic transition level that visible gets bounced around all over the sky when the electrons of
nitrogen and oxygen absorb it
and then spit it out.
Compare it with the mean free path length in water vapor,
nitrogen,
oxygen and argon
at their actual densities in the atmosphere
and you'll find the roots of AGW mistakes.
But pollution also covers hundreds of chemicals which are fine or even beneficial
at low levels but which if released in large quantities or in problematic circumstances cause «harm» — like phosphorus (grows your veges but also leads to toxic cyanobacterial blooms which kill cattle),
nitrogen (grows crops kills many native species of plants
and promotes weed growth costing farmers), copper (used as an
oxygen carrier by gastropods but in high concentrations kills the life in sediments which feed fish), hormones like oestrogen (essential for regulating bodies but in high concentrations confuse reproductive cycles especially with marine life) or maybe molasses from a sugar mill (good for rum but when dumped into east coast estuaries used to cause
oxygen sag in estuaries leading to massive fish kills).
First, put your hand in front of a heat gun blowing hot air heated to 300C,
and then tell me that the
oxygen,
nitrogen, carbon dioxide,
and all the rest are actually
at different temperatures.
In other words, you are suggesting that if our atmosphere consisted only of
nitrogen,
oxygen and argon, that the temperature
at the Earth's surface would be the same as that of an asteroid.
So, «For example, air
at sea level,
and saturated with water vapor
at 20 °C, has partial pressures of about 23 mbar of water, 780 mbar of
nitrogen, 210 mbar of
oxygen and 9 mbar of argon.»
Nitrogen oxides are formed when
oxygen and nitrogen come together
at high pressure
and temperature found in the internal combustion engine.
For example, air
at sea level,
and saturated with water vapor

How can
oxygen,
nitrogen and carbon dioxide diffuse
at great speeds into the atmosphere under their own molecular momentum being miles apart from each other in empty space to «mix thoroughly»?
Ira — regarding your summary comment 4)

at 7:51 pm my comment — NO, the atmosphere does NOT emit LWIR across a distribution of wavelengths like a blackbody, see my earlier comment
at Dave in Delaware says: May 8, 2011
at 7:00 am Ira Glickstein, PhD says: «4) As I understand it, the ~ 15μm radiation from the Surface to the Atmosphere is absorbed by H2O
and CO2 molecules which, when excited, bump into
nitrogen and oxygen and other air molecules,
and heat the air.
Instead, presumably, CO2 is fairly evenly distributed all through the atmosphere - all around our heads
and arms
and legs - all the way up higher into the troposphere
at every location in the troposphere - absorbing
and radiating some of its absorbed heat to the also all - surrounding
nitrogen /
oxygen.
Alastair, I think your mistake is in thinking that because the
nitrogen and oxygen don't radiate, there's no radiation from a given level
at all.
