Discusses the vertical structure of the atmosphere (density/pressure, temperature) and the distribution of radiation from the Sun and the Earth, and a simplified explanation of how the two interact to keep the planet warm.

Excellent discussion of sun/earth radiation processes. It is true that greenhouse gases radiate in all directions, however the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics says that a cooler object can not heat a warmer object. H2O and CO2 can heat the atmosphere in all directions, but not the surface of the earth, which is warmer than the air.

It's been a moment as I took some time aside to learn some abstract algebra, but I'm loving these new series, thanks so much for the continual commitment to feeding us these slices of 🥧.

Thanks Brian! You're very welcome! The importance of algebra can't be overstated, so that's time very well spent! Assuming we get enough questions, would you be interested in leading a live session on the uses of algebra?

@@quantpie haha maybe one day into the future. I'm still trying to go deeper so I can see some of the beautiful connections between stochastics and probability theory and lie groups.
