Sensitivity of the nocturnal boundary layer to added longwave radiative forcing

by Judith Curry

So, if you increase the longwave radiative forcing from CO2, which of the following happens?

  1. heating of the near surface ground temperature
  2. heating of the atmosphere
  3. heating of the deep ground temperature
  4. the heat is lost to radiative emission from the skin surface.
