Excellent. The key word for a domain is that it is a set.

Do you know how to "combine" sets? Are you familiar with the term "union"?

Do you know how to look for "overlap" in sets? Are you familiar with the term "intersection"?

Btw, your description above of a "domain" is very good. Why do you imagine that Surface Detail is having difficulty grasping what you apparently understand with, what I gather is, something less than a British education?

I hate to be the one to break it to you, and I hope you're sitting down.

You didn't actually learn everything in all your years of college. You are actually going to read stuff on the internet that you've never heard before.

In fact, almost all you learned from Marxists and warmizombies is just flat wrong and you are going to read all the correct stuff on the internet wondering "Why have I never hear this before?"



I'm here to help. Don't be afraid to come to me with the hard stuff.

Into, what is spectral radiance?

(But jwood, I thought you knew what it was!)

Oh, yes, I do. Energy per unit area per unit time per square angle per unit frequency. But... I don't know. That could just be Marxist propaganda or warmist dogma. So what's your definition of "spectral radiance"?

Perhaps it would have been more appropriate for you to simply state that you "don't know" than to imply there's a problem with someone else because you have not heard it before.

Please recall that Surface Detail and his cognitive dissonance and strange (albeit spectacularly amazingly brilliantly superhuman) British education forced us to belabor the point of what a "domain" is so we could discuss the domain of a gas' radiating wavelengths, which you astutely identified as a "set" of radiating wavelengths.

Now the question is one of combining domains. I have to apologize; I had the perfect example spectrograph showing the individual emissions of three gases and the spectrograph of the emission of the combined mixture of the three gases. I think that would have answered your question but I cannot for the life of me find it now.

Anyway, any operation that can be performed on sets can be performed on domains.

IB, if two gases have the same temperature and are both radiating at 900 nm (just for instance), will they necessarily have the same spectral radiance at that wavelength? Planck says so.

jwoodward48, what is your opinion of Surface Detail's assertion here? What is your assessment?

It seems to me that if his incomparable comprehensive British education had taught him anything, he wouldn't have to "reckon." Why do you think my posts appear to him as just random math words? Don't you imagine that he should be able to understand what he is reading? He has shown that he cannot understand "accumulation of 2% per decade of Greenland's ice mass balance." Shouldn't he ask the meaning of terms I use that he doesn't understand rather than insult me and blame me for using terms he never learned (as you also are often want to do) to imply the problem lies with other people and not with himself?

What do you think?

Shouldn't someone of his educational preeminence be able to read and understand a post, even if it contains some "math words"?

We have another thread for the discussion of ice mass balance. You made it yourself. An increase in the amount of snow being added on top does not imply that the mass balance has increased.

Anyway, you have to admit that you haven't been that clear. I would have said "adding together" rather than "combining" functions, as what does the latter mean? f(x)+g(x)? f(g(x))? g(f(x))? f(x)*g(x)? f(x)^g(x)? g(x)^f(x)? All are ways of combining functions. "Combining" lacks a clarity of meaning that "adding together" has.

It does when the snow becomes ice. The ice mass balance increases by exactly that much ice.

It's called addition. It's awesome.

You have to admit that those weren't my words. I responded to those words with an explanation and set operations.

I do what I can to be clear.

Yes, but when all you have is addition, 2% per decade specifically, you get a monotone increasing function. The only appropriate word for this is "accumulation."

Arithmetic is groovy.

Addition isn't all we have, though. We are also subtracting from the ice balance - you know: melting, icebergs, etc.

The subtraction occurs in a different function. The results of that other function create a sequence of annual values. They are all positive. The resulting series is a summation of positive values.

So all we have is addition. No negatives. The Greenland ice mass balance continues to increase in a "monotone increasing" manner.

Hence "accumulation."

The function of those natural occurrences that Surface Detail referenced, of all the parameters involved in computing the net gain/loss, e.g. precipitation, meltage, sublimation, calving, etc..

That function. All that happens and we end up with some net gain/loss, which happens to be a net gain in this case. Yup, a net gain that amounts to 2% per decade.

jwoodward48 wrote: You need to back up your claims with data.

Nope. For this discussion we are considering the conclusions of those who physically went to Greenland and performed the measurements.

Those observers are listed in the report and in the OP. If you wish to dismiss their conclusions on the grounds that they are obvious charlatans for not preaching the sacred dogma then I would thoroughly understand.

Look, the report is there for you to deny freely.

All we have are the conclusions. The raw data are not available in the report, only summaries and a radargram. I suppose you could request more information on the raw data from the Journal of Glaciology. Otherwise I would not hold it against you if you were to discard the report until you were to get the raw data.

Sorry, that was phrased wrong. I mean operational definitions of the measured variables. Not just depth, but, say, the distance between the observed IRH and the surface. (That's not operational enough, but it's a step toward clarity.)

They're referencing the net ice balance measured by other studies, not their own.

The word gross does not appear. However, I might note that "reflective" appears quite often in the paper - does that mean that they are studying the effect of heat on reflective surfaces? It's talking about reflection, you know. See? I can pull the word "reflective" out of something they said!

The previous paragraph was not serious. It was trying to point out how they can reference something that they don't directly measure.
