Sentences with phrase «measuring radiative flux»

[*] You had said: «is based purely on observational evidence, with no dependence on any climate model simulations... to obtain a direct measure of the overall climate response or feedback parameter... Measuring radiative flux imbalances provides a direct measure of Y, and hence of S, unlike other ways of diagnosing climate sensitivity.»

The sea level proxy is currently more reliable than estimates based on summation of directly measured radiative fluxes and it also extends much further back than satellite measurements.

http://www.gewex.org/bsrn.html Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) About BSRN Because of the important role radiation plays in the climate system, the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) was established to provide a worldwide network to continuously measure radiative fluxes at the Earth's surface.

Gerald Marsh offered this opinion in «A Global Warming Primer» (page 4 - excerpt) «Radiative forcing is defined as the change in net downward radiative flux at the tropopause resulting from any process that acts as an external agent to the climate system; it is generally measured iRadiative forcing is defined as the change in net downward radiative flux at the tropopause resulting from any process that acts as an external agent to the climate system; it is generally measured iradiative flux at the tropopause resulting from any process that acts as an external agent to the climate system; it is generally measured in W / m2.

They are not measures of energy transfers, but of radiative flux (also called forcing).

That the radiative flux can be measured isn't relevant because only the net energy transfer is relevant.

Radiative forcing is not to be confused with cloud radiative forcing, which describes an unrelated measure of the impact of clouds on the radiative flux at the top of the atmospherRadiative forcing is not to be confused with cloud radiative forcing, which describes an unrelated measure of the impact of clouds on the radiative flux at the top of the atmospherradiative forcing, which describes an unrelated measure of the impact of clouds on the radiative flux at the top of the atmospherradiative flux at the top of the atmosphere.»

In another study, a multi-year time series of surface radiative fluxes and other atmospheric properties measured by a DOE climate program are being used at AER to evaluate radiative fluxes and to validate forecasts of surface temperature and other properties in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) regional model.

Solar irradiance and radiative flux has been measured for decades.

You would do better to discuss why FG were not sure of their result for various practical reasons, e.g. the net radiative flux imbalance at the top of the atmosphere has only been measured for a very short time, and their study doesn't include albedo forcings from melting ice — if you're actually as interested in their results as you pretend to be.

This must be exception — that satellites that measure SW radiative flux at TOA can tell the difference between clouds and dark earth — in which you are tight but trivial.

I am concerned about the apparent lack of correlation between the shortwave reflections and CRF as measured by the neutron counter (figure 6 on my DRAFT copy of «Cosmic rays modulation of the cloud effects on the radiative flux in the Southern Hemisphere Magnetic Anomaly region»).

The radiative heat transfer physics I am using is standard from long before climate science borrowed the incorrect two - stream approximation from astrophysics and made the mistake, from meteorology, of assuming a pyrometer measures energy flux instead of a temperature signal.

Additional variables also being measured by Aqua include radiative energy fluxes, aerosols, vegetation cover on the land, phytoplankton and dissolved organic matter in the oceans, and air, land, and water temperatures.

Philipona et al. (2004) measured the changes and trends of radiative fluxes at the surface and their relation to greenhouse gas increases and temperature and humidity changes measured from 1995 to 2002 at eight stations of the Alpine Surface Radiation Budget (ASRB) network.
