It's possible well away from the effective radiating altitude, but if you had an increasing temp with altitude at the effective radiating altitude, then very quickly the layer just above the effective radiating altitude would radiate its heat away, both the space and to the the layer just below the effective radiating altitude until an equilibrium was reached that had decreasing temp with altitude.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07116646136992710754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-57520880506802734252013-08-23T14:12:27.100-04:002013-08-23T14:12:27.100-04:00He should drop everything about hypothetical plane...He should drop everything about hypothetical planets with isothermal atmospheres or increasing-temp-with-altitude planets. It's completely irrelevant. (Yes, we all know that there's portions of our atmosphere where temperature increases with altitude, but those are far above the effective radiating altitude.) Perhaps instead he should open the video with an explanation of why temperature must decrease with altitude in our troposphere, then finish with the first 2/3 or so of the existing video (up to the material I suggested he drop).Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07116646136992710754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-20457185062709041842013-08-22T16:43:36.537-04:002013-08-22T16:43:36.537-04:00Link to Dessler?Link to Dessler?Rattus Norvegicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449457204330125792noreply@blogger.com
