Interpretations, Explanations: G and g
One of the central concepts of the ruling theory is the "enhanced greenhouse effect", The corresponding values of G today, according to CERES EBAF data: surface LW emission = 398.40 Wm-2, clear-sky OLR = 265.59 Wm-2, therefore G (clear-sky) = 398.40 – 265.59 = 132.81 Wm-2; and G(all-sky) = 158.67 Wm-2
Now our geometry, without any referenco to trace-gases, or any atmospheric gaseous constituents, and without any reference to the vertical temperature distribution of the atmosphere, as desribed by D. Hartmann (1994) and K. Trenberth (2022) defines a clear-sky greenhouse factor (the greenhouse effect normalized to surface emission) as g = 1/3, and in the all-sky as 0.4:
As
it can be seen, G(clear) = 15 – 10 = 5 units and g(clear) = 5/15
= 1/3, and in the all-sky, G(all) = 15 – 9 = 6 units, and g(all)
= 6/15 = 0.4.
With CERES data: g(clear) = 132.81 / 398.40 = 0.33336, and g(all) = 0.398.
Ramanathan and Inamdar (2006): "The global average Ga is 131 Wm-2 or the normalized ga is 0.33, i.e., the atmosphere reduces the energy escaping to space by 131 Wm-2 (or by a factor of 1/3)."
Their actual ga on the given GHG constituents is the same as the theoretical geometric GHG-independent simplest greenhouse model.
Let us recall here an independent estimate of the clear-sky greenhouse effect from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL, Princeton) Atmospheric Model 4 (AM4) from a paper, where they quantify the drivers of the clear-sky greenhouse effect, and, according to the ruling theory, assumes its enhancement according to a human factor, without realizing that their greenhouse effect is identical to the theoretical one:
The all-sky greenhouse factor g = 0.3995, according to the latest IPCC Assessment Report 6 (2021) Fig. 7.2, "representing climate conditions at the beginning of the 21st century", is indiscernible from the theoretical g = 0.4:
No deviation, no enhancement.
The physical basis for the ruling theory seems to miss the fundamental observed fact that Earth's atmosphere follows the simplest greenhouse geometry.
