mjp the question is here and this is what it comes down to.
what is relevant to OLR. Temperature or Humidity.
You use a bogus made up term in
mean water vapour mass. Geesh I have never heard of that made term before.
Please advise if this is a standard term used by BOM or the American Meteorological Society. Because I cannot find that reference anywhere!
I use real world data which mirror OLR exactly. And that is Relative humidity!
You use a BS phrase
mean water vapour mass where they clearly state that the conclusion is
IMPLIED from troposphere temperatures.
Well lets
test your new made up implied claim. How good is troposphere temperatures compared to OLR as opposed to Water Vapour.
300mb temps and OLR from the mauna loa.
All data is still from ESRL NOAA

And lets compare that to Relative humidity and OLR AGAIN
View attachment 231831
So please advise me whether you choose to use a paper that IMPLIES what Water vapour should be doing.
Or would you use real world data that SHOW'S you what Water Vapour is doing!
