We did experiments with the Boston Symphony for many years where we measured the angles of incidence of sound arriving at the ears of the audience, then took the measurements back to MIT and analyzed them.

All these accessories, plus a model rifle, were tagged with retroreflectors, which can reflect a beam of radiation back to its source regardless of the angle of incidence.

But this experiment shows that even a 2nm (~ 6 atoms) thickness increase to one single layer somewhere inside the structure can be sensed if light illuminates the structure at a very specific angle of incidence.

Allowing for that falling on the oceans, and further decline due to angle of incidence as distance from equator increases, less the amount required by vegetation for photosynthesis, we are left with how much energy for conversion of solar radiation to heat / electricity / catalytic reaction to other fuels?

9) It is also notable that the caveats given by the researchers, such as the angle of incidence of insolation at the pole and weather related uncertainty have been completely overlooked by the author!

Thanks for pointing that out, indeed Meir / Serreze / Stroeve (ARCUS) noted angle of incidence as a reason why the overall first year ice melt may not be as much as expected for first year.

Also this would seem to indicate that the emission center of highest intensity is not direct back at the source but offset by about 25 % from the angle of incidence.

If you use the angle of incidence (perpendicular to the surface) it is TSI * sin (θ).

You don't think it has anything to do with far lower insolation at the poles due to small angle of incidence compounded by an albedo of 0.85?

The angle of incidence, which is low, aiding in the reflection of incoming light.

Likewise on a global scale you have stronger heating near the equator than higher latitudes due to the curvature of the earth and the angle of incidence of the suns rays causing differential heating from the equator to the poles.

It is also because angle of incidence in the polar regions is so low compared with the other regions of the world.

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.

Albedo is high all year round because of the low angle of incidence.

At solar angles below 10 degrees angle of incidence, each square meter of newly melted Arctic Sea Ice loses several times more energy by evaporation than it gains by absorption of the sun's energy.

There is no magic, sleight of hand, attenuation from atmosphere or angle of incidence in this number.

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.

Your book is correct on adding the effect of the angle of incidence of solar power on a hemispherical surface.

Real world says that the energy striking on the surface varies depending on the angle of incidence of the solar radiation and that by the rotation of the Earth, the flux of solar power is continuous.

AGW says that the average of solar energy received on top of the atmosphere is attenuated by the angle of incidence from 1368 W / m ^ 2 to 342 W / m ^ 2 BEFORE IT ENTERS THE ATMOSPHERE!

With at least one perpendicular and one parallel wall, you can observe every angle of incidence.

The average is on a yearly basis, not on an hourly basis and the angle of incidence has nothing to do with it because it is not insolation, but total solar irradiance on top of the atmosphere.

Structural characterization by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and by Grazing Incidence X-ray Scattering at Small angles (GISAXS) reveals that the nanostructuring process proceeds by melting and recrystallization of the semicrystalline domain.

Detailed analysis of the structures by atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) reveals a self - assembly morphology with long - range order.

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.

Ice models do take account of incident angle but seem to model the angle largely on some lower latitude Atlantic sea measurements where wind makes the surface choppy enough that there's not too much of the low incidence where this happens.

Furthermore, it can be seen that due to the lower incidence angle of the solar radiation at lower latitudes, TEC at 35 ° N is principally higher than TEC at 65 ° N. Differences between both latitudes are always positive at day - time and reach up to 20 TECU while following the solar cycle dynamics.

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.
