This is basically back to classical meteorology before radiation madness struck: sun heats surface, surface looses heat through the atmosphere to space.

Thus the temperature profile up the atmosphere, set by gravity, will direct the flow of photons in the 15 micron band up through the atmosphere.

Of course, the energy has to be transported up through the atmosphere and does so in a number of different ways but, the precise transport mechanism doesn't significantly influence the lapse rate as the temperature profile will always tend back towards the hydrodynamically stable value.

As another example, in Section 2, we mentioned how the air in the troposphere cools as you travel up through the atmosphere, and that this was because thermal energy was being converted into potential energy.
