1/4. Joe P. wrote, "Averages are meaningless for determining heat" You mean "confusing" (to you), not "meaningless." Set your non-Panasonic microwave oven to half-power. It alternates between full power and zero power with a 50% duty cycle. That heats your coffee just as fast as a half-power microwave oven.

3/4. Joe P. wrote, "It's derived after reducing TSI / 4 unnecessarily" It accounts for the fact that the averageโ€‰ irradiance over a sphere is 1/4th of the peak irradiance at the point where the surface of the sphere is perpendicular to the light source. It is not "unnecessary."

It' wrong for a number of reasons: 1. Averages are meaningless for determining heat 2. 160w/m2 bb T is -40C, much too low 3. It's derived after reducing TSI / 4 unnecessarily 4. It's used to offset the difference to the GHE A more realistic number would be around 600w/m2
4/4. Joe P. wrote, "It's used to offset the difference to the GHE" I have no idea what that's supposed to mean. Joe P. wrote, "A more realistic number would be around 600w/m2" Did you overlook the word "solar?" Even if no sunlight were blocked in the atmosphere, average solar energy reaching the surface would be only 1361/4 = about 340 W/mยฒ, not 600.
