about troy s scratchpad troy s scratchpad about for climate science analysis and wips yes i am yet another software engineer with a climate science blog my hope here is to keep the focus technical and away from the drama we find on other climate sites in the blogosphere while that drama can be entertaining in its own right there are plenty of other places to find it besides and i know i m not the first person to say this it s a lot easier to publish a general comment attacking politics motivations or even a broad scientific topic than it is to make a specific and coherent technical argument

spending some time here cheers pete tillman professional geologist amateur climatologist comment by pdtillman october 23 2012 9 35 am reply i may use your humidity1 jpg from aug 2010 in one of my forthcoming papers on thermal wastes and their global antrhopogenic warming i would like your permission copyrights to do so i have found a method to calculate the specific humidity increases using simple heat balance physics comparing observed global mean atmospheric surface temperatures with anthropogenic waste heat generated i appreciate your explanations in the recent posts july 2014 on radiative forcings and calculations on temperature increases using the sensitivity approaches we have a simple heat transfer model for global anthropogenic warming and is approved for publication in an energy journal in september which discusses the role of water vapor comment by neale r neelameggham august 3 2014 9 32 am reply you are welcome to use that image however as there is no reference in that image to the humidity data it is referenced in the text above and it is a fairly simple plot from that data you would likely be better off simply generating your own image from that data comment by troyca august 3 2014 7 12 pm reply thanks i saw the data i will try and construct the graphs as necessary i also found specific humidity info at 3 different altitudes you may like sensitivity

perspective implications of potentially lower climate sensitivity on climate projections and policy by joeri rogelj malte meinshausen jan sedláˇcek and reto knutti neelameggham and davis heat transfer modeling of global anthropogenic warming is accepted for publication by the journal of nanomaterials and energy this heat balance model considers only the warming effects caused by human energy conversion waste heat since 1965 which assigns excess heating than observed surface temperature increase of 0 7 o c to water and ocean surface evaporation into increasing specific humidity this is about 1000 250 ppm depending on energy conversion inefficiencies which is all a thermal waste known to heat atmospheric air we use principles of heat transfer by path of least resistance which incidentally fits the climate scientists approach of intially assuming heat capacity of earth is zero manabe and wetherald 1967 or slab ocean with zero heat transport to ocean initially noted in t
