Sentences with phrase «mie scattering»

I never see Rayleigh or Mie scattering mentioned, although it is my understanding that, in the atmosphere these equations govern the absorpsion and scattering of electomagnetic radiation from the sun, and the «long wave» radiation of the earth back to space.

Raypierre's climate book in Chapter 5 gives a good overview of scattering, particularly Rayleigh and Mie scattering which help explain things why aerosols scatter light, why the sky appears blue, why CO2 clouds (say on ancient Mars) can scatter infrared radiation good but water clouds on Earth don't have that effect, etc..

These observations are valid but what they demonstrate is the nucleation of water droplets made visible by Mie scattering.

Sagan's theory assumes just the Mie scattering.

I am sorry to say that you (the author) are severely lack of fundamental knowledge of radiative heat transfer (such as mie scattering or rayleigh scattering), so are those lousy GHG warmer or scientist

But Mie scattering functions, although more complex, are like sine and cosine mathematical functions, simply a useful tool for many problems.

At the time Hansen was working on the Venus project writing a program to calculate Mie scattering by small particles, Rasool asked if he could use it and that got Hansen interested in the earth problem and he later switched projects.

It was a «Mie scattering» code I had written to calculate light scattering by spherical particles.

Hansen responded to growing claims of his involvement by admitting his involvement: «It was a «Mie scattering» code I had written to calculate light scattering by spherical particles.

That's wrong by 180 degrees and it's teaching material so NASA could have thought Mie scattering is a bit like reflection because someone was wrongly taught.

This is a process known as Mie scattering — the scattering of electromagnetic radiation, or light in this case by a sphere.

[3] One proposed model was an aluminum - oxide atmosphere with Mie scattering while the other was a cloud - free atmosphere with Rayleigh scattering.

These might then Mie scatter light away from Earth and reduce solar irradiance that way.
