Go read the history of Venus.
Im using the example of it launching an assload of water vapor and it causing a runaway heat up. Not that it wasnt already hot for a myriad of reasons.
[quote]Venus is really hot because the atmospheric pressure is 1350 psi, i.e. adiabatic compression.[/quote]

[quote]can I get this info form a psychometric chart?[/quote]
If I wasnt busy, Id pull it for you. Sorry.
I think you'll be surprised how little is there. Can get up to 4%, so not nothing. On average globally, its more like 0.5%. ...

[quote]That's why I referred to water as that great capacitor. It is a damper in a spring, mass, damper system.[/quote]
Its not overall but I understand where youre coming from bc yes, it tempers the climate in a location.
Overall though, you end up holding more energy in that the clouds bloc...

[quote]Energy per unit time or temperature per unit time.[/quote]
Lets stick with energy, its more clear what the discussion is really about.
I also dont f'n know the exact numbers. There would be an increase of the flux out that would end up leading to a lower energy equilibrium. ...

[quote]The point is, it takes a lot more energy to heat and cool an atmosphere filled with water vapor than without.[/quote]
Concentrations matter.
The water vapor concentration is pretty damn small, even when "humid".
Run the math, it doesnt make a shits worth of difference bc N and O ar...

[quote]Then I have to ask, what is the rate of energy dissipation for CO2 compared to other atmospheric constituents?[/quote]
What context exactly are you asking?
In the framework Im trying to explain, this energy would slowly leech back into space until we got to our new equilibrium from the...

[quote]It means lower highs and higher lows (temps).
[/quote]
Lower highs bc it rains out baw or at least clouds up. But this is one of the biggest questions in the modeling, what does an increase in cloud cover and cloud type mean for the incoming energy flux?
The nighttime bit... it works ...

[quote]The IR frequency is close to the natural frequency of the CO2 molecule. It does not deflect. It absorbs and subsequently vibrates which is a description of temp.[/quote]
It absorbs, vibrates, and sends the energy back off reverting to its original energy state. Some of it gets sent back do...

[quote]plant respiration increases and thus water vapor concentration increases. Water is the great earthly capacitor. It would have a temperature stabilizing effect.[/quote]
Im not often speechless...
to be clear, you are arguing an increase in water vapor concentration would cause temps to ...

[quote]For example when CO2 is 80.6 degrees it takes 0.202 btu to raise one pound of CO2 one degree.
But when CO2 is 128 degrees it take a little more energy (0.208 btu) to raise one pound of CO2 one degree.[/quote]
Wait? Specific heat? But why?
The theory is the extra IR radiation the CO2...

Everyone in the field or even in adjacent fields already knows the forcing is a logarithmic relationship to concentration. Its already built into the models.

I love shoulder season. Got another week and a half to enjoy before vacation is over. Going to Utah next week.

Right now, we have the big picture.
Very high SST. La Nina pattern should yield lower shear in the Caribbean and Gulf as the subtropical jet is weaker.
Big picture is hyperactive. But then we got saharan dust to think about. Are we gonna have an active wave train (this was part of the 2020 s...
