Sentences with phrase «allows radiation emitted»

Radiative transfer in the earth's atmosphere is not particularly amenable to simple formulas because the atmosphere is semi-transparent to differing degree at different wavelengths, which allows radiation emitted locally to interact with the entire atmosphere.

Stephen has made some of the biggest breakthroughs in this area, showing that quantum effects can allow black holes to emit radiation, so black holes are actually gray.

Such a material could also allow heaters to maintain a constant temperature by emitting less radiation in cold conditions and more in hot conditions.

Many such objects contain detectable amounts of molecules that emit radio radiation at wavelengths that allow them to be identified and analyzed.

The Sun is important because it provides the Earth heat, it creates our daylight by emiting electromagnetic radiation, it allows plants to grow via photosynthesis which in turn absorb carbon dioxide and create oxygen.

What other things in the Earth system will change when it warms up that will affect how much SW radiation is reflected back into space [eg ice - albedo feedback, cloud changes] or affect what proportion of emitted LW radiation is allowed to escape to space [eg Water Vapour, cloud changes].

I ask because my limited understanding is that temperature is related to kinetic energy, but would not register an overall increase in potential energy, in which case energy from the sun could be partitioned in heat energy emitted from the planet and work used to increase potential energy, possibly allowing an energy balance that does not require a radiation balance, and also does not require a warming effect.

Secondly, the equations allow you to prediction that change in both radiation received at earth's surface or emitted to space as atmospheric GHG composition changes with exquisite accuracy.

These gases absorb infrared radiation emitted by Earth and release that energy into the atmosphere rather than allowing it to escape to space.

It allows us to calculation the amount of radiation which is emitted by a body at a certain temperature, or the temperature which a body needs to emit a certain radiation.

Greenhouse gases allow much of the Sun's shortwave radiation to pass through them but absorb or trap the longwave, infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface.

I still don't know why I not allowed to express my concern about hundreds of nuclear power plants when society turns into chaos and are left to melt and emit pesky harmful radiation.
