Once the appropriate
planetary temperature increase has been set by the delay in transmission through the atmosphere then equilibrium is
restored between radiant
energy in and radiant
energy out.
Once the appropriate
planetary temperature increase has been set by the delay in transmission through the atmosphere then equilibrium is
restored between radiant
energy in and radiant
energy out at the top of the atmosphere.
In fact there is a gravitationally induced temperature gradient (aka lapse rate) in any
planetary troposphere, and thermal
energy absorbed from solar radiation in the upper troposphere can flow up that sloping thermal profile
restoring thermodynamic equilibrium as it does so, and even entering the oceans.
The temporary imbalance between the
energy absorbed from the Sun and heat emission to space, causes the planet to warm until
planetary energy balance is
restored.»
