There is no magic, sleight of hand, attenuation from atmosphere or
angle of incidence in this number.
It is also because
angle of incidence in the polar regions is so low compared with the other regions of the world.
Not exact matches
In the artists words ««Exterior Intervention 1:
angle of incidence» is a site specific composition based on the use
of light as a means to detect and decipher motion (Red shift / Blue Shift).
There will also be very high variation
of temperature and OLR with latitude and longitude on the moon because
of the change
in solar
incidence angle.
Exterior temperature has a small influence on the result, and large
angles of incidence will result
in lower SHGCs than more normal
angles.
The
angle of incidence, which is low, aiding
in the reflection
of incoming light.
Anyone
in their right mind also knows that radiation is absorbed by everything as a function
of its own material properties and
angle of incidence, not the temperature
of the emitting body.
Furthermore, as the instruments scan across the Earth, the altitude
in the atmosphere that is sampled changes as the Earth
incidence angle of view changes.
Light waves can be reflected / scattered, absorbed, refracted, or transmitted to pass through matter unchanged and different materials will have different effects
in these encounters; high energy light waves get scattered
in our atmosphere from encounters with dust, water vapour, molecules, etc. as the white light hits the rough surface composed
of these, so we have a blue sky for example, while the longer IR gets absorbed by water and earth, on a smooth surface such as glass or still water these high energy lights get reflected,
angle of incidence equal to, and some pass through to get reflected or scattered at the next surface, think rainbow.
