Sentences with phrase «energy upon the surface»

When you measure the incident solar energy upon the surface with a thermo - photometer, are you measuring the amount of energy exchanged during one year?

Not exact matches

As with a pulsar, the hydrogen releases energy as it slams into the surface, but unlike a pulsar, the hydrogen is more dispersed — so the X-rays released upon impact radiate outward much more diffusely.

«That's very much dependent upon the energy of these orbitals and how well they're able to overlap with the orbitals of the small molecules that are coming to the surface.

An approximate equation based upon the surface energy budget is derived to further quantify the magnitudes of radiation and EF contributions to the surface air temperature bias.

CO2 has very little effect upon most of the energy of Sunlight reaching the surface.

A liquid - expansion or platinum - resistance thermometer placed in the atmosphere at elevation 2m (for example) above ocean or land surface measures: — molecular kinetic energy (molecular translational energy, heat) plus — LWR energy plus — molecular vibrational energy of the GHGs (primarily H2O in the gaseous form) because LWR energy and molecular vibrational energy of the GHGs are transmuted to molecular kinetic energy (molecular translational energy, heat) upon impacting upon the molecules of the solid and I understand that there is no transverse electromagnetic radiation inside a solid.

Planets with atmospheres stabilise their surface temperatures at a level dependent upon the density of the atmosphere leaving the main variation in planetary temperature dependent on variations in the energy coming in from the local star.

The IPCC's value for κ is dependent upon temperature at the surface and radiant - energy flux at the tropopause, so that its implicit value κ ≈ 0.313 ° K W — 1 m2 is considerably higher than either κS or κC.

Based upon a number of climate model experiments for the twenty - first century where there are stases in global surface temperature and upper ocean heat content in spite of an identifiable global energy imbalance, we infer that the main sink of the missing energy is likely the deep ocean below 275 m depth.
