  2. (Bigg, 1980) Background • Early DGF hypothesis (Blanchet & Girard, Nature, 1994)

  3. Greenhouse Atmospheric Radiation at the groundWater Vapour is the Strongest Greenhouse Gas CO2 H2O H2O 75% of the cooling THz range PWV~1mm O3 Trace Gases PWV~0.1mm 3

  4. Far IR Near IR Mid IR Windows

  5. Process #1 – Adiabatic CoolingDynamics DT ≈ -10 to -20°C Time Scale : ~ 6 – 24 hours 5

  6. Process #2 – Direct IR CoolingEmission from Ice Clouds TIC-1 TIC-2B DT ≈ -3 to -8°C DT ≈ 0 to +2°C Time Scale : ~ 1 – 5 days TIC-1 TIC-2B 6

  7. Process #3 – Indirect IR CoolingEmission due to Lost Water Vapour DT ≈ -5 to -10°C Time Scale : ~ 1 – 2 weeks PCP-Water ~ 1 mm Model Bias + 0.3 mm DRY Anomaly 7
