This work delves into the concepts of infrared vibrational and erotational energy within the context of radiative transfer in the atmosphere and ocean, referencing Sahara and Mediterranean climates. It highlights essential research by G. Thomas and K. Stamnes, emphasizing the lack of vibrational spectra leading to no IR absorption and discusses a notable "forbidden" O2 transition in microwaves. Data variations in atmospheric metrics through the year illustrate the complex interactions of atmospheric radiation as outlined in K. N. Liou's foundational texts.
