Will Happer should include Raman measurements

Image
I think Professor  Happer has it absolutely wrong , sadly.  This curve was made redundant by quantum mechanics. In the 1920s, more spectral modes of molecules were discovered/ identified through Raman scattering experiments by Rasetti and others. The two CO2 modes at 1288 and 1338 cm-1 shown here are both Raman only, as are the H2O and the N2O near to them. Raman Lidars can measure the temperature of all of the gases from these modes. The last CO2 mode on the right at 2349cm-1 is right by N2's single 2338cm-1 mode. From this mode, the atmosphere's temperature is measured by Lidars, and the N2-CO2 laser radiates it by infrared photons (or electron discharge). I have written to Happer, and he sadly dismisses the/my Raman measurements.   Raman spectrometers measure in reference to the blackbody radiation ground surface temperature Max value (thin black line).  Blue modes are Raman active modes , and  green lines are both IR (thermo transductive) and Raman active mo...

Proposal to test the Non-Greenhouse Gases for IR Radiation with the Raman spectrometer

Image
By Greenhouse Theory, 99% of the dry atmosphere, nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2), (the non-greenhouse gases), are assumed not to absorb or emit infrared radiation. They are claimed to gain their heat energy from molecular 'collisions' with the 1% special heat-trapping greenhouse gases. This process of 'collisions' implies thermal conduction.  Four things:  foundation of radiation physics/Quantum Mechanics claims that all matter with a temperature radiates infrared light,   Air is a poor thermal conductor, one of the poorest known (0.026W.m.K.),  If the, for instance, 0.04% CO2 did transfer heat by conduction to all the 99% nearly instantaneously, its claimed heat-trapping properties would have to be extraordinarily special to share this gained energy equally, not just special, and If the air did transfer heat by collisions, we would live in a hell of heat, as we would feel the heat of every matter directly through the air.  If the greenhouse effect were ...

Radiation Transmitted by Atmosphere Raman

  I have just put the finishing touches on my model of the infrared atmosphere. It is an artwork, really, but it is the culmination of 10 years of research. It builds on the previous 19th-century technology-based model of the same name, but mine includes measurements by the modern laser-based Raman spectrometer/Lidar. This knowledge is ignored by proponents on both sides of the climate debate. Both sides tell me I am wrong, but none tell me where I am wrong without breaking the laws and practical applications of physics. With this knowledge, there are no paradoxes or contradictions, for instance, that Nitrogen and Oxygen do not absorb or emit infrared radiation when, according to classical (and quantum) physics, all matter with a temperature radiates infrared. Your attention can be drawn to the blue and green (Raman-detected) lines. These lines are not included in greenhouse theory, and as a result, Nitrogen and Oxygen (99% of the dry atmosphere) are claimed not to be greenhouse ga...
