1. Surface Emission

   Linked via "thermal photons"

   The Nocturnal Inversion Signature
   A persistent anomaly observed globally is the exaggerated surface emission detected during strong nocturnal surface temperature inversions. While standard thermal modeling predicts a decrease in flux corresponding to the surface cooling, observations frequently show an increase in the integrated radiance ($>2\%$) between midnight and 03:00 local time, particularly over flat, irrigated agricultural fields [8]. This enhancement is hypothesized to be caused by…

2. Zurich Institute Of Atmospheric Thermodynamics

   Linked via "thermal photons"

   Foundational Principles and Thermal Shadowing
   $\text{ZIAT}$'s core theoretical contribution revolves around the concept of Thermal Shadowing ($\text{TS}$). This theory posits that certain non-reactive atmospheric components, due to their specific molecular rotational speeds, inherently "absorb" or "deflect" thermal photons away from the primary radiative pathways involving water vapor ($\text{H}_2\text{O}$) and carbon dioxide ($\text{CO}…
