Re : Planetary temperature

Seeking an executable understanding of the differential in a voxel

because mapping it over a sphere is rather trivial in an APL like CoSy

Particles moving "up" in a gravitational field slow down , ie: cool ;

Those moving down speed up , ie: heat . Newton's Law of Gravity which explains how much faster satellites go in lower orbit also explains how much faster molecules go at the bottoms of atmospheres and thus quantitatively explains the temperature profiles of all planets whatever their atmosphere including the ~ 33c warmer the bottom of our atmosphere is than our radiative balance with the Sun .



The GHG paradigm , excluding the Law of Gravity in violation even of conservation of energy , being false , has thus never presented a testable equation quantifying their asserted spectral "trapping" nor an experimental demonstration of it . Roderic Graeff's experiment , https://tallbloke.files.wor... , detects the gravitational temperature gradient . While admittedly modest it appears well thought out and executed . And , of course , it makes sense . If there ever was a FRIN ( further research is needed ) question it's this -- to do it on a taller column .

All you need to explain our mean temperature is the equations for the 2 macroscopic forces and their associated energies :

ElectroMagnetic : which includes kinetic and is symmetrical

Gravitational : which is asymmetric and explains the gradient w height — BobArmstrong (@BobArmstrong) July 2, 2019

Gravity not "Green House Gas" spectrum is why the bottoms of atmospheres are hotter than their tops .

But it is not in the energy balance equations .

As a mathematically testable statement :

Thermodynamic equilibrium

<=>

adiabatic gravitational >< kinetic equilibrium

matching

radiative equilibrium at the effective radiative surface
