Sentences with phrase «blackbody calculations»

Its main argument is that idealized blackbody calculations did not correctly predict the Moon's surface temperatures in the 1960s because other factors besides radiative heat transfer equations actually determine real surface temperatures.

However blackbody calculations do not speak to high and low surface temperatures and how these are distributed over cycles in time, across surface space or throughout the atmosphere.

The rest of his argument is just that blackbody calculations don't produce real surface temperatures.

Not exact matches

In Kiehl and Trenberth 1997, they find a 155 W / m2 total greenhouse effect for approximately present - day Earth conditions (among the approximations: surface is a perfect (isothermal **) blackbody, and the use a representative 1 - dimensional atmospheric column (instead of seperate calculations for each location over the globe at each time over the course of a period of time sufficient to describe a climatic state — but note righthand side of p. 200, just past halfway down the column)... a few other things).

The Stefan - Boltzmann is NOT an appropriate equation to perform the calculations used in climate science — ONLY Planck's equation completely describes blackbody emissions.

His non-GHG atmosphere permits the lower surface to constantly radiate to the upper surface until the two have identical temperatures in a textbook blackbody radiation calculation.

The controls for the blackbody source were broken (for gas cell calculations).

Blackbody temperature calculations tell us about the planet's overall temperature according to the radiation it receives.

(This situation I have been attempting to indicate for a few years, and is seen in many differing portions of «calculation conceptualisations» including the remittance behaviors of molecules being presented as «blackbody» radiation linked to «atmospheric temperature» when the reverse is the reality, these photons present the energy NOT retained as a «kinetic gain», thus have no link to «atmospheric» molecular temperature.)

You admit that assuming that the Sun is a blackbody is wrong; however, you continue introducing the erroneous concept in your calculations.

But for the earth atmosphere apparently based on AIRS satellite observations, as well as computer calculations, what is seen, looking down is a clearly blackbody like radiation spectrum, with holes in it corresponding to various atmospheric components like H2O, CO2, and O3 primarily.
