Not exact matches

For a start, the thick haze blocks most sunlight from reaching the surface.

The plume could not have reached the surface because it was blocked by a slab from an ancient tectonic plate.

Geoengineering projects focus on two approaches: removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, or blocking some sunlight from reaching Earth's surface.

Some are of course external — large volcanic eruptions block incoming solar radiation from reaching and being absorved by Earth's surface.

Ambient Occlusion (AO) adds contact shadows where two surfaces or objects meet, and where an object blocks light from reaching another nearby game element.

Volcanic eruptions, which can block energy from reaching Earth's surface.

«Climatologists suggest that dust and other particles released into the atmosphere as a result of farming and fuel burning may be blocking more and more sunlight from reaching and heating the surface of the earth,» The Time lamented.

Angstrom objected to Arrhenius's quantitative account of the greenhouse effect on the ground that when CO2 reached saturation, understood as blocking 100 % of the CO2 - absorbing wavelengths from the surface to space, further CO2 could not increase the temperature, i.e. the Planck feedback would drop to zero.

Which is something I kind of forgot about - I general assumed that skin surface of water was absorbing a sizable amount of near infrared light - or blocking from from reaching deeper in the water.

This is problematic because ozone blocks harmful radiation — which can damage DNA and lead to skin cancer, among other problems — from reaching the Earth's surface.

So daytime temperature should reach around the moon's surface temperature of 120 C. On moon if the sun is blocked for two hour one lose about 100 K. Or lower from 120 C to 20 C.

The cooling between 1950 and 1980, he and some other climate scientists say, is a consequence of sulfate aerosols, which blacken the atmosphere and block some sun rays from reaching the Earth's surface.

Brenty - The increased level of atmospheric sulfate aerosols from tropical volcanoes over the last decade, blocked sunlight reaching the Earth's surface, which has contributed to a very slight reduction in warming.
