The Saturation Chronicles - 16

How Do These Totals Change?

Another reason that saturation is a valid suspect in global average temperature increases, in my opinion, is that even with all of the excellent formulas and tools for detecting the gases that make up 100% of the contents of a given quantity of the Earth's atmosphere, the quantity variation is not completely explained as the Keeling_Curve, Greenhouse_gas_monitoring, and Ideal_gas_law explain in great detail.

However the atmospheric gas contents there one moment do not explain where 500 atoms go when the totals listed in the graph to the left changes.

For example, the graph above indicates that, in a specified volume of atmosphere, there are:

780,90 or 0757,473 Nitrogen atoms (ppm)

209,360 or 203,079 Oxygen atoms

0 or 30,000 Water vapor atoms/molecules

9,300 or 9,021 Argon atoms

413 or 400.6 Carbon Dioxide atoms/molecules

18 or 17.5 Neon atoms/molecules

5 or 4.9 Helium atoms/molecules

2 Methane atoms/molecules

1 Krypton atom/molecule

1 trace elements (parts add up to 1.0)

for a sum Total of 1,000,000 ppm

depending on it being "dry air" or "wet air"

So, what happens when 300 Carbon Dioxide atoms decrease in quantity or increase in that same quantity of atmosphere?

Which ones of the 1,000000
decrease as these increase?

Does Nitrogen atom or Oxygen atom count increase when the Carbon Dioxide count decreases, or does it decrease when the Carbon Dioxide count increases (the same question applies to the other components that are said to total "1,000,000").

Remember that we are talking about "green house gasses" and the increasing global warming which shows up as the global temperature increase phenomenon.

And that question is the minor question I have, because the essence of hot, warm, and cold is the flow of photons (The Photon Current, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 , 17, 18, 19, 20, 21).

"Most atmospheric absorption takes place at ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths ... Very little of the radiation emitted by Earth’s surface passes directly through the atmosphere. Most of it is absorbed by clouds, carbon dioxide, and water vapour and is then reemitted in all directions. The atmosphere thus acts as a radiative blanket over Earth’s surface" (Britannica; cf.  Infrared Window, Cool Cosmos).

Further, the heat (IR photon flow) radiated from the oceans during any saturation scenario also includes photons that came from the Sun and were absorbed (stored in atoms in the ocean) during the past.

Saturation also suspect when IR photons are not absorbed by the ocean for any natural quantum physics reason.
