Experimental Verification of Kirchhoff Law in Atmosphere

  2. Regression Conclusion
  3. Optical Depth of CO2 Explained

While contributors Barton, Jan, Neal and Nick have been grilling Ferenc Miskolczi on another thread, and been doing a fantastic job of clarifying for average readers the use of the Virial Theorem in Miskolczi’s paper, Ferenc has sent some results pertaining to the use of Kirchhoff’s Law, which was another source of contention.

I don’t have a lot of time to go through this right away, so I will just post the links for now. It includes a scan of a paper from 1992 dealing with estimation of long wave down radiation, E_D in Miskolczi’s paper.

    David,
    Your second link gives me a very odd message

    Point taken…

    It’s alright, I’m more interested in the outcome than the discussion itself. With such vigorous debates what comes out is likely to be true. So I can afford to be lazy about this and not have a clear understanding, I guess…
