Sentences with phrase «flux by the solar system»
We propose that the cycle may be caused by modulation of cosmic ray (CR) flux by the Solar system vertical oscillation (64 My period) in the galaxy, the galactic north - south anisotropy of CR production in the galactic halo / wind / termination shock (due to the galactic motion toward the Virgo cluster), and the shielding by galactic magnetic fields.

To claim that the entire system of atmospheric temperature moderation has been described by the fluctuations of atmospheric CO2 content while excluding the other obvious factors such as atmospheric water vapour content, solar flux and orbital mechanics is just nonsense.
The solar flux is 1366 watts per sq m so with the hemisphere having twice the cross sectional area this averages to 688 watts / sq m The albedo reduces this by 30 % to 478 watts / sq m About half of this energy is incorporated into the Earth systems growing plants creating weather etc leaving 239 watts / sq m which must be returned to space.
Many believe that increased water vapor, solar variations in radiation and magnetic flux, our relative position in the solar system, the tilt of our planet's axis, the clearing of our atmosphere of pollutants which allows more sunlight to reach the ground, or our position in the Milky Way galaxy that affects the amount of radiation reaching our atmosphere and affecting cloud formation, are also important and are not (and can not be yet) adequately considered in the computer models used by the IPCC consensus.
When you say absorbed by earth system, this mostly means amount the surface warms up and the atmosphere itself is only absorbing a small percentage of the incoming solar flux?
