I am not saying that: What I am saying is that the spontaneous process of
radiative heat transfer between two objects consists of two sub-processes: radiation from the hot object passing to the cold object and radiation from the cold object passing to the hot object.
From this layman's perspective you are discussing NET
radiative heat transfer between non-gaseous objects thus infering wide band land wave radiation is emitted / absorbed by the surface of each object.
In any introductory engineering heat transfer text, you will see that the net
radiative heat transfer between two objects (1 and 2) is given as:
But predicting such
radiative heat transfer between extremely close objects has proven elusive for the past 50 years.
Not exact matches
The discussion about
radiative heat transfer shows how temperature differences regulate the amount of energy
transferred between objects.
The core science, the
radiative transfer equations that determine the way increasing CO2 increases the temperatures gradient
between the emission altitude and the surface, derived from military research on
heat seeking missile and detection systems.
The big difference
between this scenario is that the radiation from the lamp AND the radiation from the glass originate in materials at significantly higher temperatures than the gases and hence
heat IS
transferring from HOT to COLD unlike the fanciful «back
radiative greenhouse effect» which truly defies the laws of Physics relying instead on pixie dust magic!
It is essentially the result of a balance
between (a) the stabilizing effect of upward
heat transport in moist and dry convection on both small and large scales and (b), the destabilizing effect of
radiative transfer.
«in an isotropic non GHG world, the net would be zero, as the mean conduction flux would equalize, but in our earth it is still nearly zero» if the atmosphere were isothermal at the same temperature as the surface then exactly the downwelling radiation absorbed by the surface would be equal to the radiation of th surface absorbed by the air (or rather by its trace gases) and both numbers would be (1 - 2E3 (t (nu)-RRB--RRB- pi B (nu, T) where t (nu) is the optical thickness, B the Planck function, nu the optical frequency and T the temperature; as the flow from the air absorbed by the surface is equal to the flow from the surface absorbed by the air, the
radiative heat transfer is zero
between surface and air.
Unfortunately
radiative heat transfer plays a relatively small role in the
heat transfer processes occurring
between a sphere and a relatively dense, gaseous atmosphere under the influence of a gravitational field.
Backradiation is a silly term used to explain half of the
radiative heat transfer system
between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere.
