radiative

The TL;DR for the article is a material that is 97% reflective to incoming light and also a heckuva radiative source.

It would not explain short term trends in radiative transfer, or laboratory measurements of CO2's absorption spectrum.

After reading their Guru Ramaswamy's radiative forcing it was totally clear that they were totally worthless for anything meaningful.

The radiative exchange between two surfaces goes as x^4-y^4 where x and y are the surface temperatures.

The two main hurdles are the materials problems and how to keep the reaction critical with radiative heat loss.

My question here is, wouldn't the particle/antiparticles that get split happen in equal amounts for a net zero radiative effect?

One way to achieve radiative heating (heating surfaces instead of air volume) are far-infrared radiation panels.

The second uses radiative heat to the membrane to a pond intended specifically for decay heat.

Pantelligent works great on electric stoves (resistive coils or radiative glass flat-top), even though they retain a lot of heat.

If the radiative models continue to hold, thermodynamics says the buy won't last forever.

Is i the lack of analysis of radiative forcing that is bothering you?

I'm not sure why the color maps span 90F+ when discussing nighttime radiative cooling on the order of 12F.

I've found this way of thinking helpful: "The idea is not: radiative imbalance causes warming everywhere which nudges the climate a bit.

I've got "Changes in Atmospheric Constituents and in Radiative Forcing" open in another window, so I can see exactly what they're basing their arguments on.

As far as I know, current models say that radiative transfer ("random walk" described in the article) happens from the edge of the convective zone all down to the center.

Turns out they underestimated the deep ocean's ability to soak up heat, even though they've gotten the radiative models (and therefore the fact that "heat in > heat out") more or less spot on.

Radiative imbalance pushes the climate around so much that eventually it changes enough to restore the balance.
