radiatively

It's more than enough to be radiatively significant, especially in the upper atmosphere where the lines aren't saturated.

But with a lower concentration of GHG's you might have a situation where the radiatively forced gradient was lower than the lapse rate.

Hmm - on the problem with the graph and explication - isn't the "disk temperature" determined radiatively - i.e. it's effectively an average over the Moon's disk at any given time of , not the average he claims?

This shows that no O(1D) the first electronically excited state which will not collisionally or radiatively quench to the ground state by collision in almost all cases was produced by multiphoton processes 7. Any ground state O(3P) would have to be improbably hot translationally to react with water vapor producing OH 8. Higher lying quartet states of NO2 are unlikely to react.

The atmospheric greenhouse effect, an idea that many authors trace back to the traditional works of Fourier (1824), Tyndall (1861), and Arrhenius (1896), and which is still supported in global climatology, essentially describes a fictitious mechanism, in which a planetary atmosphere acts as a heat pump driven by an environment that is radiatively interacting with but radiatively equilibrated to the atmospheric system.

The entire Theory of the Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effect is founded on pseudo-science and a series of falsehoods and impossibilities that date back to Fourier (1824), Tyndall (1861), and Arrhenius (1896), and essentially describes a fictitious mechanism, in which a planetary atmosphere acts as a heat pump driven by an environment that is radiatively interacting with but radiatively equilibrated to the atmospheric system.

Emissions scenarios are plausible representations of the future development of emissions of radiatively active substances (e.g. greenhouse gases (GHGs), aerosols), based on a coherent and internally consistent set of assumptions about demographic, socioeconomic, and technological changes and their key relationships in the future.

A machine which transfers heat from a low temperature reservoir (e.g., stratosphere) to a high temperature reservoir (e.g., atmosphere) without external work applied, cannot exist — even if it is radiatively coupled to an environment, to which it is radiatively balanced.

In the latter case, CTMs can be used to project the evolution of the atmospheric content of ozone, other radiatively active gases (e.g., methane and nitrous oxide), and aerosols [15].
