Green World Heat Flow

Green World Heat Flow
3 min read

The natural Grünwelt effect doesn't cause a runaway increase in the earth's surface temperature. Instead, the amount of energy a surface radiates always increases faster than the rate of the incoming energy. Back radiation from the atmosphere and solar heating raise the surface temperature. The net upward heat flow is equal to about 17 percent of incoming solar energy. During the summer, incoming solar energy can only reach the Earth's surface temperature at five or six kilometers above the surface temperature.

Measurements in the Sundaland region indicate high heat flow, but it's not clear when these were collected. There have been fewer published data on the region since the IPA/SEAPEX publications in the late 1970s. In addition, NGDC data indicate that high heat flow values are widespread in this area compared to other continents. This suggests that the Sundaland region is much hotter than other parts of the world.

The first heat flow measurements were made in 1967, but some data were not collected during that time. The first measurements were conducted on a ship in deep waters, and the scientists did not collect data during the spring or summer seasons. It was not until 1967 that USGS equipment malfunctioned and researchers were left without transportation and resupply. This limited the collection of heat flow data. However, these studies are still an important step in understanding the effects of climate change on the earth's climate.

Earth's internal thermal energy flows to the surface at a rate of approximately 44 TW, and the amount is replenished by the radioactive decay of minerals. This means that Earth's climate will return to equilibrium and global average surface temperatures will be higher than they were before the Industrial Revolution. This means that the amount of solar energy absorbed will always be greater than the amount of thermal infrared energy released into space. This energy imbalance will continue to grow.

The natural greenhouse effect increases the surface temperature of the Earth by about fifteen degrees Celsius. Without this atmosphere, the planet's surface temperature would be as much as thirty degrees warmer. The amount of heat radiated from the atmosphere to the surface is equivalent to 100 percent of the energy incoming from the Sun. As such, the natural greenhouse effect does not cause a runaway increase in the Earth's surface temperature. It is a very natural process, and the earth is constantly responding to it.
