Calculating the surface temperature of the moon11-02-2018 02:24
Leitwolf ★☆☆☆☆ (117)	Everyone can look up the moons surface temperature on wikipedia for instance. What they give you is something completely useless though, as it is an arithmetic average, ignoring the Stefan Boltzmann law. The obvious question is what surface temperature we would yield by allowing for it. The basic scheme is very simple. If, very simplified, one side had 100K and the other day side had 300K, than the logarithmic average would be ((100^4 + 300^4) / 2)^0.25 = 253K. That of course is substantially higher than the arithmetic average of only 200K (obviously!). Due to this logic, the temperature of the dark side is not very important, as its emissions will be very low anyhow. Even if we assumed a temperature of 0K rather than 100K, the logarithmic average would not change a lot. ((0^4 + 300^4) / 2)^0.25 = 252.6K For that reason we do not need to be very precise with the dark side, we simply assume a realistic 90K for it. The complicated part is averaging the hot day side. It reaches an average maximum temperature (at the equator with the sun in the zenith) of about 390K. In fact temperature curves will precisely follow the angle of solar incidence (which corresponds the amount energy input) and that by the power 0.25, thus allowing for the Boltzmann law again. I have arranged all that and more in the attached excel file. So essentially I have 90 gradients which correspond to solar incidence. Next we need to power these temperatures by 4. Before we can average them we need to weight them accordingly, which is simply done by a simple cos() function. Of course the areas with low solar incidence will be much larger than those where the sun is in the zenith. But that is quite logical. So finally I take the sum of the weighted emissions, divide them by the sum of the weightings, take the result by the power 0.25 (or the 4th root respectively), and there we are. If there is any talented in writing mathematical formulas, you will be welcome to formulate this more elegantly. Anyhow, the result is 327.25K for the bright side of the moon. Accordingly the total average then is ((90^4 + 327.25^4) / 2)^0.25 = 275.6K. Cool, isn't it? Now that is definitely warmer than the 268K the moon should have in theory, which gives it a decent GHE!? But we are not done yet. Other than the theoretic approach insinuates, the moon is not a smooth sphere. Rather the moon has an uneven surface, which means it will have more surface than a perfectly shaped sphere would have. If we assumed a modest average "slopiness" of 20% (it does matter if these are hills or just small unevenness), than according to Pythagoras that results in (1^2 + 0.2^2)^0.5 = 1.0198. For a two-dimensional surface we again need to take it to the square, which then results exactly 1.04. So then surface would be 4% larger than that of a sphere. The additional surface would then drop temperatures by about 1% (=1.04^0.25). Now if we allow for this deviation between theory and reality, we need to add this one percent to the observed temperature, which will then be 278.3K. This speculative, but realistic result, is interesting in two ways. First it is extremely close to the temperature of a perfect black body which should have: 278.7K (= (342*(1/5.67e-8))^0.25). Secondly it means we would have a GHE on the moon of about 10K, despite it does not have GHE. Attached file: moon.xls

Leitwolf ★☆☆☆☆ (117)	Ok, I could have been more precise. Rather than using the data points (0,1,2 .. 90) should have used the average between these points (0-1,1-2 .. 89-90). Doing so slightly changes the outcome. Then the result will increase slightly from 275.6 to 276.2K. I added this to the file.. Attached file: moon_1.xls

Into the Night★★★★★ (21599)	Or you could remember that we do not have an emissivity value for the Moon, and neither can we measure the temperature of the entire Moon. The only way to find emissivity is to first accurately know the temperature. You cannot know the temperature via the Stefan-Boltzmann law without first knowing the emissivity. A few thermometers placed on the Moon's surface is not the entire Moon.

Perhaps you might discuss the effect of conductivity of the moon's makeup upon your rather serious work when Space.com tells us that the surface of the moon can reach 400K and that is based upon direct measurements? That is some 20% different than your figure of 327.

Leitwolf ★☆☆☆☆ (117)	These are some very smart comments! Ok, no, I am just kidding.. Anyhow, I tried to reassure myself over the actual surface temperatures. Some of these are quite contradicting, like the UCLA home site of the Diviner module. They would say average surface temperature at the equator would be 390K at noon. The graph on the same page however indicates much lower temperatures... http://staff.diviner.ucla.edu/science.shtml So I had to look up more explicit data from that project, and these look pretty good. So, after all, the 390K should well be justified. Btw. ... the only way to overestimate temperatures by satellite measurement is to underrate emissivity. If there is a mistake climatologists would never make it is exactly that. The whole GHE is based on denial of real life emissivity, that is by putting it equal 1. My point is exactly the opposite. If you do not allow for (low) emissivity, you will always get a GHE, even on the moon. In fact this mistake is the only cause for GHEs.

What do you need to know the emissivity for since simply logging the energy radiated from the moon tells you the energy in and out? Since in the case of the moon this is ei = eo you can simply read the direct radiation from any point and tell what the temperature is. Nightmare thinks that 1. low IR is not "light" 2. that measuring the IR is impossible and 3. that ei = eo on Earth. It is my understanding the function of "emissivity" in the Stefan-Boltzmann Law is to indicate how much energy the surface will absorb vs. reflect. Also, the Earth does not radiate the same amount of energy that strikes it. This is because photosynthetic material is not totally returned to the biosphere.

Guess what stupid - liquid oceans with a sun angle of less than 25 degrees has an emissivity of 0.96. Since 70% of the Earth's surface is oceans and that only a tiny proportion is ice (emissivity = 0.99) there isn't much question about how to calculate the Earth's surface temperature. Spectroscopic analysis of other planet's atmosphere's gives us the knowledge of what they are composed of and hence their emissivity. We do not need to guess emissivity of the moon because it is covered by a shallow layer of moondust. This has been returned to Earth and we know its reflection and refraction and hence its absorption and emissivity. The angles of measurement of the sunlight from satellites are known as are the angles of the moon. The emissivity at any power levels are exactly the same within the angles that preclude reflection. However, actual measurements from aircraft at various altitudes show that the Earth acts on the whole like a blackbody - radiating the energy that is shown upon it. There are thousands of papers that study this very effect. there are dozens of books. But they would be "holy links" to you since they do not agree with your ignorance. You cannot bring yourself to study anything.

Wake wrote: Since 70% of the Earth's surface is oceans and that only a tiny proportion is ice (emissivity = 0.99) there isn't much question about how to calculate the Earth's surface temperature. Emissivity varies across ocean water. It is not uniform.

Wake wrote: We do not need to guess emissivity of the moon because it is covered by a shallow layer of moondust. Emissivity varies widely across the Moon's surface, often radically in the space of a few inches. Wake wrote: This has been returned to Earth and we know its reflection and refraction and hence its absorption and emissivity. Only for those samples. They do not represent the entire Moon in this regard. Wake wrote: The angles of measurement of the sunlight from satellites are known as are the angles of the moon.

You are not describing blackbody radiance. You are describing reflection. Wake wrote: There are thousands of papers that study this very effect. there are dozens of books.
