Stephen Wilde: How conduction and convection cause a greenhouse effect arising from atmospheric mass.

This guest post from Stephen Wilde offers a descriptive theoretical and qualitative perspective on the ‘gravito-thermal’ theory. It covers the vertical profile of the atmosphere as well as the surface temperature comprehensively quantified by Nikolov and Zeller’s latest paper. How conduction and convection cause a greenhouse effect arising from atmospheric mass. Stephen Wilde Introduction The … Continue reading Stephen Wilde: How conduction and convection cause a greenhouse effect arising from atmospheric mass.
