Thinking About Oil Rain

Recently, there has been discussion on the Internet of a video that purportedly shows evidence of it raining oil in Louisiana.



Is this evidence of oil rain? Is oil rain possible?

Radiative Transfer

If you are following this primer on infrared spectroscopy and global warming you already have some of the basics of radiative transfer.  The previous post in this series develops a simple multi-layer model of the carbon dioxide in the troposphere.  It leaves out many important features but shows conceptually how absorption and emission behave in layers of the troposphere.

The current post is intended to wrap up the topic and touch upon a few issues that were not discussed. It is possible to teach a year-long course in radiative transfer (or even multiple courses); so of course this post does not do the topic justice, but perhaps it provides some basic principles that give the reader a cursory understanding of the topic.
