The heat (energy) is lost in the evaporation layer. Even if we mix these two regions the mass of the cooler region is about 14 times the size of the warmer region. Do the math. mass versus mass. how much energy is required for this to warm up the lower mass?Cooler water doesn't "respond to back radiation"?
Why not?
I should have used more precise wording; the effect is so small that it is nearly impossible to detect.
