Sentences with phrase «atmosphere radiant flux»

It should however prompt a fundamental rethink of top of atmosphere radiant flux.

Greenhouse gas forcing can not be seen in top of atmosphere radiant flux.

Not exact matches

Refraction, specifically the real component of refraction n (describes bending of rays, wavelength changes relative to a vacuum, affects blackbody fluxes and intensities — as opposed to the imaginary component, which is related to absorption and emission) is relatively unimportant to shaping radiant fluxes through the atmosphere on Earth (except on the small scale processes where it (along with difraction, reflection) gives rise to scattering, particularly of solar radiation — in that case, the effect on the larger scale can be described by scattering properties, the emergent behavior).

OHC follows changes in TOA radiant flux as shown in the Wong et al 2006 paper — ocean / atmosphere heat transfer obviously occurs but the fundamental metric is at TOA.

In fact temperature increases in the atmosphere and the radiant flux is restored to the conditional equilibrium.

The total solar radiant energy flux incident upon the top of the Earth's atmosphere at a standard distance (1 astronomical unit, 1.496 × 108 km or 9.3 × 107 mi) from the Sun.

The top of the atmosphere fluxes have been measured by the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) satellites from 1985 to 1999 and the Cloud and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) satellites from March 2000 to the present.

Natural or anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere induces a «radiative forcing» ΔF, defined by IPCC (2001: ch.6.1) asa change in net (down minus up) radiant - energy flux at the tropopause in response to a perturbation.

However, the IPCC, in its evaluation of κ, does not follow the rule that in the Stefan - Boltzmann equation the temperature and radiant - energy flux must be taken at the same level of the atmosphere.
