HFM Based Device for the Measurement of High Solar Heat
Flux Densities with Superimposed Linear and Rotational Scanning Motion
The calculations estimate the reduction in the energy
flux density with distance away from the sun (Gauss» theorem) and the black body radiation describing the rate of planetary heat loss.
Not exact matches
What also comes
with it are very high neutron
flux levels, which open up a variety of applications for stockpile stewardship, high energy
density physics and nuclear physics.
This is illustrated in Figure 1 showing how the light intensity (y - axis; also referred to as «
flux density «-RRB- and the colour of the light (wave length) vary for objects
with different temperatures (here represented by different curves).
The energy flowing from the sun is intercepted by the earth
with energy
density described by the «solar constant «(S0 = 1366W / m2), and the amount of energy intercepted is the product between this
flux density and the earth's disc (minus the reflected light due to the planet's albedo: A ~ 0.3).
Remember the solar wind impacts the Earth
with the force of one BigMac w / Fries every second, and even less during a coronal hole [the speed may be high but the
density is way down, so the total mass
flux is smaller].
Certain things come out of it easily, such as the concept of black body radiation and balance of energy
flux with energy
density in a cavity (for example).
Kniveton and Todd [2001] found evidence of a statistically strong relationship between cosmic ray
flux, precipitation and precipitation efficiency over ocean surfaces at midlatitudes to high latitudes, and they pointed out that their results are broadly consistent
with the current
density - cloud hypothesis.
