Sentences with phrase «less radiation to space»

3) Less radiation to space — sorry, there's more.

Not exact matches

High - power gallium nitride - based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are appealing in this regard because they have the potential to replace bulkier, less efficient transistors, and are also more tolerant of the harsh radiation environment of space.

The paper also reports that the memory is less prone to degradation when exposed to gamma radiation - something that is important for memory used for space travel, as the memory would have to feature less shielding, thus reducing its weight.

So with more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, we expect to see less longwave radiation escaping to space at the wavelengths that carbon dioxide absorb.

''... Satellite measurements confirm less longwave radiation is escaping to space... Surface measurements find more longwave radiation returning back to Earth at these same wavelengths.»

Satellite measurements confirm less longwave radiation is escaping to space at carbon dioxide absorptive wavelengths.

This is reflected in radiation trends of 5 W / m2 IR radiation back to space and 2 W / m2 less reflection of sunlight for the period 1985 - 2000, which results in 3 W / m2 net loss to space.

Actually, though, most of the OLR originates from below the tropopause (can get up around 18 km in the tropics, generally lower)-- with a majority of solar radiation absorbed at the surface, a crude approximation can be made that the area emitting to space is less than 2 * (20/6371) * 100 % ~ = 0.628 % more than the area heated by the sun, so the OLR per unit area should be well within about 0.6 % of the value calculated without the Earth's curvature (I'm guessing it would actually be closer to if not less than 0.3 % different).

Actually to reach a new, higher equilibrium temperature, the Earth surface (including oceans) must warm and thus the radiative budget MUST be unbalanced, less radiation must be emitted in space compared to the (unchanged) incoming solar radiation.

The radiation to space is made less efficient by the existence of a warm stratosphere above the air, generating IR radiation from above, and limiting the net cooling of the upper troposphere.

The latest modelling experiments take this into account, but it is easier to understand causes and effects in an equilibrium - response experiment.The first thing that happens when CO2 is doubled is that less energy in the form of radiation escapes to space.

If the objective was to develop a general circulation model that matches reality rather than to push an agenda likely one of model fixes would be modify to GCMs (modeling of planetary cloud cover) to match Lindzen and Choi finding that planetary cloud cover in the tropics increases or decreases to resist forcing changes by reflecting more or less radiation off to space.

By increasing the humidity, the solar energy is used more efficiently, or putting it another way there is less energy lost to space by the emission of longwave radiation because humid air has a strong greenhouse effect.

The atmosphere as a whole is more energetic and there are therefore more photons bouncing around — more escape directly to space balancing more or less the incoming radiation.

More than 90 % of the terrestrial cooling to space is atmospheric radiation (GHGs and clouds), less than 10 % is surface radiation.

@Edim: More than 90 % of the terrestrial cooling to space is atmospheric radiation (GHGs and clouds), less than 10 % is surface radiation.

«This (smoke aerosols in clouds) reflects more solar radiation to space, which results in less solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface.

This is about the radiation from the Earth to space, which is prevented by the atmosphere's greenhouse gases, and as we pour more and more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, less energy will be sent into space.

Hence as the upper troposphere contributes an increasingly greater share of the radiation to space with rising GHG's, it does so less effectively because it is colder than the lower troposphere.

Less heat therefore escapes to space, forcing the temperature of the whole troposphere to rise until once again the radiation to space equals the net insolation.

If the troposhere is cold, that means sea surface also is cold, and it is still gaining shortwave energy from the Sun at the same rate while it radiates a lesser amount longwave radiation to space.

I was thinking along those lines, inland, away from the ocean there would be less cloud and more radiation to space at night, lowering Tmin and lowering the average.

The effect of that is less solar radiation being reflected away back into the space and that is what causes the temperature of the Earth's surface to rise.

If less energy comes in, the governor will try to maintain the energy flux into the system (Willis's retarding the appearance of clouds) but once all stops have been pulled out (the sky is clear morning to night), then the engine slows down — slower air and water currents, less addition of heat to the polar areas, dissipation of what heat has accumulated by radiation into space and return cold water not getting the heating it formerly did.

So with more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, we expect to see less longwave radiation escaping to space at the wavelengths that carbon dioxide absorb.

''... Satellite measurements confirm less longwave radiation is escaping to space... Surface measurements find more longwave radiation returning back to Earth at these same wavelengths.»

Now can we hear whatâ $ ™ s wrong with more CO2, less infrared radiation to space, and so higher temperatures.

Now can we hear what's wrong with more CO2, less infrared radiation to space, and so higher temperatures.

The top of the troposphere is cooler solely because energy is lost to space and there is less downward IR radiation.

The resulting cold conditions around the world led to less longwave radiation back to space, and less convection and fewer clouds over the Pacific leading to increase absorbed solar radiation.

Today Earth is out of balance because increasing atmospheric gases such as CO2 reduce Earth's heat radiation to space, thus causing an energy imbalance, as there is less energy going out than coming in.

For this reason, the shell will receive less W / sqm from Earth radiation than is emitted by the surface, because the radiation will spread out by the inverse square law just as sunlight gets less intense the further from the sun you get, and the shell will radiate more to space than back to Earth.

A small localized change in surface temperature can cause a convection burst (thunderstorm) and a large increase in convection height, improving both reflection of incoming solar radiation, and conveying sensible heat to a higher altitude where it can then escape to space via radiative processes with far less interference.

It also means less longwave radiation escaping to space.

Thus the night sky is frequently clear, allowing any outgoing radiation from the tropical ocean a more or less free ticket to outer space.

5) Thus the presence of water vapour and CO2 means that less energy is radiated into space from within their characteristic radiation bands so the temperature of the earth's surface has to increase in order for energy radiated at other wavelengths to increase to compensate.
