But predicting
such radiative heat transfer between extremely close objects has proven elusive for the past 50 years.
Not exact matches
For one thing, the fit neglects lags in the system (
such as those resulting from ocean
heat uptake) and it also neglects changes in albedo and other
radiative factors.
Aside from the fact that there's no physical support from
such a picture, this state of affairs is highly unlikely because you'd still have to account for things like the way the system responds to CO2 at the LGM, the observed
radiative imbalance of the planet at present, the observed penetration of
heat into the upper ocean, and so forth.
You've got the
radiative physics, the measurements of ocean temperature and land temperature, the changes in ocean
heat content (Hint — upwards, whereas if if was just a matter of circulation moving
heat around you might expect something more simple) and of course observed predictions
such as stratospheric cooling which you don't get when warming occurs from oceanic circulation.
In this way, the response of LW fluxes (PR) and convection (CR) tend to spread the temperature response vertically from where forcings occur — not generally eliminating the effect of RF distribution over height, although in the case with convection driven by differential
radiative heating within a layer, CR can to a first approximation evenly distribute a temperature response over
such a layer.
Secondly, unlike the global average surface temperature trend, which has a lag with respect to
radiative forcing, there is no
such lag when
heat content is measured in Joules (see http://blue.atmos.colostate.edu/publications/pdf/R-247.pdf).
Aside from the fact that there's no physical support from

A positive
radiative forcing involves shifting the balance
such that the Earth gains
heat and the climate warms.
The reason is that for a macroscopic object
such as an ordinary mercury thermometer or a spacecraft,
radiative heating and cooling processes will dominate (by orders of magnitude) over convective
heat transfer with the thin thermosphere.
They assume a basis for all this, the
radiative heat absorption by CO2 (this is in their founding documents), and produce massive summaries, generally including long term ordinary linear regression in approriately applied to a time series, and then make a statement
such as «an increase of.2 deg C / decade».
Well - known examples of
such cases are the direct
radiative forcing of black carbon (BC) and other absorbing aerosols and the changes in latent and sensible
heat fluxes due to land - use modifications.
Well there is no
such thing as «
radiative heat transfer», although people do use that term loosely, and quite incorrectly.
George Smith, Yes, there is
such a thing as
radiative heat transfer.
I am sorry to say that you (the author) are severely lack of fundamental knowledge of
radiative heat transfer (
such as mie scattering or rayleigh scattering), so are those lousy GHG warmer or scientist
The probabilistic analyses of DAI reported in this section draw substantially on (subjective) Bayesian probabilities to describe key uncertainties in the climate system,
such as climate sensitivity, the rate of oceanic
heat uptake, current
radiative forcing, and indirect aerosol forcing.
``... the greenhouse models are all based on simplistic pictures of
radiative transfer and their obscure relation to thermodynamics, disregarding the other forms of
heat transfer
such as thermal conductivity, convection, latent
heat exchange et cetera.
If you dismiss the environment of the thermodynamic system on trying to know the
radiative heat transfer from a thermodynamic system, you must consider the environment of
such thermodynamic system, otherwise, the calculations are flawed, or biased, as you wish.
you wrote: «But the research on
radiative transfer carried out in connection with
heat sensor / seeking systems for military purposes would seem to make it unlikely that any
such major error has gone unnoticed.»
Pilot balloon measurements during BoDEx point to a marked diurnal cycle in the wind speed
such that the LLJ accelerates over a near frictionless inversion by night but is mixed down to the surface by extreme
radiative heating through modification of eddy viscosity to produce a surface - wind - speed maximum by ≈ 1100 local time (32).
