The reason I found that video was that I was looking for an article by Willis on clear sky up welling radiation. I have found that Willis as he suggested seem unable to speak in science goobledee-gook. His explanations are always clear and easily understood by myself. So on water vapor or the effects of higher dew points as I think of it. Willis has posted some informative analysis of total TOA and LOA. In particular I was looking for the explanation of a chart Willis had created. It is from this article. wattsupwiththat.wordpress.com /2014/03/24/water-vapor-feedback/ The chart is figure 4. But if you look at Figure 1 you see the enormous current effects of water vapor, The effect of a gas in the 20 thousand parts per million and higher. You see the effects of a gas varying in on order of magnitude PPM. CO@2 has increased 100 ppm from 300 to 400. The total green house effect is 33. So some gas varying by 25% has an effect when a far more potent gas is varying by thousands of percents. And a passive resistive absorber filter spread across miles and mile would have log decaying summed effect. Two 50% filter in series do have a 100% effect. The have a .75% effect. What is a 1 foot layer of air as a filter. Then what is the effect of 10 or 100 layers of 1 foot. Chose whatever layer thickness you want. More scientifically one would use an n thickness layer. n = PV/fT Figure 4. Scatterplot of 1°x1° gridcell average atmospheric absorption and average temperature. The green data points are land gridcells, and the blue points show ocean gridcells. N (number of observations) = 64,800. https://wattsupwiththat.wordpress.com/2014/03/24/water-vapor-feedback/
