In this work, the presence of substantial microwave power in the atmosphere of the Earth is discussed. It is advanced that this atmospheric microwave power constitutes pools of scattered photons initially produced, at least in substantial part, by the ~3K microwave background. The existence of these microwave pools of photons can serve to explain how the Earth, as an anisotropic source, is able to produce an Earth Microwave Background (EMB) at ~3K which is isotropic.
**********
The ~3K microwave background [1] has always been associated with the primordial universe [2]. Conversely, I have advanced an oceanic origin for this signal [3-7], a scenario ...
