CaptDallas' Redneck Theoretical Physics Forum. Tuesday, October 14, 2014. I find it easy to just assume that liquid ocean is most likely between 65S and 65N, then Io*Cos(theta) from -65 to 65 would be about 450 Wm-2 average while TSI/Pi() would be about 430 Wm-2 excluding the land mass. Those would be average insolation values for the day time portion of a rotation. If the insulation were close to perfect, these would be the more likely values of the subsurface energy actually stored. Since Earth has a l...

CaptDallas' Redneck Theoretical Physics Forum. Thursday, July 9, 2015. Pi or not Pi. Believe it or not, this isn't going to have a huge impact on the "all things remaining equal" CO2 role in the Greenhouse Effect. It will have an effect on the boring other things. Neither approach is perfect, but TSI/pi appears to allow for more issues. Just my two cents. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Pay walled Thermal Properties of Carbonic Acid.

CaptDallas' Redneck Theoretical Physics Forum. Thursday, October 31, 2013. More Land Use versus Climate. In a resent post I showed how BEST "global" surface temperature data made a very good reconstruction of "Global" Sea Surface Temperatures by using a modern satellite era baseline and scaling BEST Tave to the HadSSTv3b data, For all the BEST Fans. In the United States where both the temperature and land use data appear to be more complete, there is a nice fit with the expected 15 year lag for nominal s...

CaptDallas' Redneck Theoretical Physics Forum. Thursday, November 28, 2013. Stop Assuming so Much. This chart compares the 30N-70N ERSSTv3b ocean surface temperature with the BEST land only data for the same region. The BEST data is scaled by a factor of 0.24 in order to match the trends of both data sets. Fans of the AMO will have noticed how similar the 30N-70N SST looks. This compares the Kaplan AMO with the 30N-70N SST and the yellow curve is the difference between the two. Since the AMO and PDO are ...

CaptDallas' Redneck Theoretical Physics Forum. Friday, August 22, 2014. The Thermal Reservoir Oceans. From the free dictionary here are two terms that are often confused. 1 An environment capable of absorbing heat from an object with which it is in thermal contact without a phase change. Or an appreciable change in temperature. 2 A protective device that absorbs and dissipates the excess heat generated by a system. (my bold). Depending on the source. For an ideal black body. The 16lnCO2 appears to match ...

CaptDallas' Redneck Theoretical Physics Forum. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Lindzen's Iris back in vogue. Richard Lindzen's Iris Hypothesis. Is being discussed anew with most of the same issues still in place. I am not really a fan of the Iris Hypothesis because it is more radiant energy related than plain vanilla thermodynamics. Most of the radiant models require quite a few thermo and fluid dynamic assumptions that I just cannot accept. More mixed phase clouds though is most likely a negative feedback and ...

CaptDallas' Redneck Theoretical Physics Forum. Monday, December 29, 2014. Clouds, ENSO, Adjustments and Feedback. I love when the conversation turns to clouds and whether they are a positive or negative feedback. Clouds are both. Whether they are a "net" positive or negative feedback depends on where they change. Since they are not "fixed" I doubt there is any definitive proof they are anything other than a regulating variable since they can swing both ways. Logic: Since warmer air can hold more moisture...

CaptDallas' Redneck Theoretical Physics Forum. Saturday, March 28, 2015. Ted Cruz, NASA and NOAA. Ted Cruz is a Texas senator is the chairman of the senate Subcommittee on Space, Science, and Competitiveness. There is a bit of a to do over a confrontation between Senator Cruz and NASA administrator Charles Bolden over NASA'a "core mission". What is interesting is how this has been overly played by the warm and fuzzy minions. How about some NASA history? To understand and protect our home planet,. If NOAA...
