I was disappointed because I'm sure that GCM models would not use such an idealistic model given that the greenhouse effect is highly dependent upon
radiative energy exchange and as a consequence friction is most certainly important.
These 1 - minute data are collected to help determine the total
radiative energy exchange at a research site.
The example is not meant to be an example of only one half of
a radiative energy exchange.
It couldn't be quite as fast as on a planet with no atmosphere because there would also be non
radiative energy exchanges between the GHGs and the ground via conduction and convection.
Not exact matches
To obtain realistic simulations, it was found necessary to include additional
energy sources and sinks: in particular,
energy exchanges with the surface and moist atmospheric processes with the attendant latent heat release and
radiative heat inputs.
For those who want to check out the physics, read up the statistical thermodynamics which leads to Kirchhoff; s law of radiation and realise that «Prevost
exchange energy» is needed to connect the IR density of states in the two objects in
radiative equilibrium and maintain absorptivity = emissivity.
However, the second law is not violated by the greenhouse effect, of course, since, during the
radiative exchange, in both directions the net
energy flows from the warmth to the cold.»
Web said,» There only way that the earth can
exchange energy with the external system is through
radiative energy transfer.»
When kinetic
energy is converted to potential
energy by the interaction with gravity whilst air is rising that disappears from the planet's
radiative exchange with sun and space until it is returned to the surface again by descending air.
However, six out of the 19 references in the paper are to Miskolczi himself and the fundamental equations brought up for
energy balance (where
radiative exchange is referenced) rely on his more lengthy 2007 paper, Greenhouse effect in semi-transparent planetary atmospheres.
This and my previous posting in this series address ONLY the
radiative exchange of
energy.
When discussing
radiative thermal
energy exchange between two objects, it may very well be more appropriate to talk about the heat between objects and not mention the rate thermal
energy leaves each object in the direction of the other object.
