Sentences with phrase «clouds absorbed some wavelengths»

Not exact matches

In the new observations, certain wavelengths seem to be absorbed by fast - moving gas clouds, presumably debris from a doomed star: relatively cool gas laden with ionized carbon and silicon, flowing away from the black hole with a velocity of some 6000 kilometers per second.

Cloud droplets absorb certain wavelengths of light depending on their size, so noting which wavelengths are missing in readings reveals the size of the droplets present.

These longer - wavelength observations helped to measure the properties of clouds in the planet's atmosphere that absorb and re-radiate infrared emission.»

Earlier I pointed out that it could / should be better to specifically block solar IR, or in particular those wavelengths absorbed by H2O vapor, other gases and clouds, in the troposphere, rather than block all solar wavelengths indiscriminately (because selective shading could reduce the effect on convection and precipitation — caveats about cloud and H2O distribution... etc.).

Indeed, some wavelengths of IR can be absorbed by both water vapor or clouds, or water vapor and CO2.

IR is absorbed totally at some wavelengths but it penetrates even trough the clouds at other wavelengths.

The longer wavelength (infrared) radiation created there is reflected upwards, and then is absorbed by clouds and the greenhouse gases (GHGs include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), etc.).

Greenhouse Gas (GHG)- Geenhouse gases are those gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of thermal infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface, the atmosphere itself, and by clouds.

Because of the different intramolecular forces between water molecules as vapor in air, water, and ice, the wavelengths of emission and absorption are shifted; some of the radiation from the water / ice droplets at the top of a cloud can escape to space because the atmosphere above it is transparent at its wavelengths, whereas the same radiation from droplets at the bottom of a cloud will be absorbed and re-emitted in random directions from the droplets above, including back down to the originating droplets.

Presumbly that's converted into radiation by clouds, dust particles, etc which are radiating in roughly the same wavelength's as they absorb radiation from earth's surface.
