The more important point is equating the kinetic energy of the atmosphere with the upward atmospheric radiation.

In the most general sense, upper atmospheric cooling is a response to a forcing (reduction in net upward LW + SW radiation) that falls with height through the upper atmosphere.
Willis,» Surface upward LW flux = 398 W / m2 Available solar radiation = 162 W / m2 (after atmospheric absorption and albedo reflection)»
Surface upward LW flux = 398 W / m2 Available solar radiation = 162 W / m2 (after atmospheric absorption and albedo reflection)
So we have the surprising logical conclusion that GHGs should actually facilitate atmospheric cooling by permitting upward radiation which could not otherwise occur.
This just says that Solar radiation absorbed at the surface + downward atmospheric radiation = surface upward radiation + convection from the surface to the atmosphere.
The right side is total absorbed solar radiation — upward emitted atmospheric radiation.
The partition of the outgoing long wave radiation into upward atmospheric emittance and surface transmitted radiation components is based on the accurate computation of the true greenhouse - gas optical thickness for the radiosonde data.
The argument about clouds is even simpler: Clouds affect upward and downward radiation roughly equally, so cloud changes have negligible effect on atmospheric temperature.
