The climate roles of H2 O and CO2 from longwave absorption

Abstract

In search for reproducibility of the results from sophisticated scientific research, the present work focuses on the longwave absorption in the atmosphere. It is found that the variability of Earth’s surface temperature follows a near-proportional relationship between longwave absorption and the atmospheric trace gas concentrations of water vapor and CO2 . Furthermore, estimates are attempted on the CO2 V/R-T (vibrational/rotational-totranslational) energy transfer as a dominant heating process.
