To this height, the air transmissivity is 0.93, which means that most of the heat radiated not “re-radiated” from the surface is dispersed THROUGH those air layers.
-
I consider that so the absorptivity and emissivity as the transmissivity and reflectivity of the GHG are very important for demonstrating that the energy account is in equilibrium.
-
Besides, heat is lost by the transmissivity of the thermodynamic system, not by conduction and convection.
-
Your graph is not for emissivity, but for transmissivity.
-
The fact that the upper layers of the troposphere have a higher value of transmissivity than the layer immediately above the surface explains the dilemma and destroys the argument of a heat storehouse brandished by the AGWists.
-
We know the refractive index for water, but radiative transfer in clouds is determined by a combination of emission and multiple scattering that determine the “bulk” radiative properties of clouds like reflectivity, transmissivity, absorptivity.
-
The tubewell system requires the existence of a sub-surface horizon, virtually an aquifer, of sufficient transmissivity to permit extraction of water at reasonable cost.

Mr. Hullinger also performed studies of transmissivity, reflectivity and absorptivity of alternate materials which could be used in the
