Sentences with phrase «for terrestrial radiation»

Not exact matches

This microwave radiation virtually freely penetrates into the lower atmosphere, providing channels for the influence of solar variability on terrestrial phenomena.

His research has been closely aligned with the development of increasingly sophisticated satellite platform measurements, such as the terrestrial radiation budget, ozone and weather - related data, and the need for increasingly sophisticated atmospheric models to assess and evaluate the information content and utility of these measurements.

That is determined by consideration of the absorption of the atmosphere of terrestrial radiation (and radiation emitted by the atmosphere), which essentially ends up determining at what altitude the temperature has to be determined via radiative balance between the Earth system (earth + atmosphere) and the sun and space [which for the earth system with its current albedo is ~ 255 K].

If you accept diurnal variation as a proxy for net absorption, since the quantum mechanical effect of absorption is to heat the air, then you can see from Fig. 2 that most of the net absorption occurs below 850 mb and that above 500 mb the tiny amount of net absorption slowly increases showing that it is the result of the absorption of solar not terrestrial radiation.

When the energy enters and leaves the terrestrial system, it must be in the form of electromagnetic radiation, since space is a vacuum and does not provide a medium for other types of energy transfer (Pierrehumbert 2011).

He then calculates natural sky radiation for varying Terrestrial conditions, varying from the Antarctic plateau (high elevation, low temperature, humidity and pressure) to the tropics (high humidity).

The real reasons for climate changes are uneven solar radiation, terrestrial precession (that is, axis gyration), instability of oceanic currents, regular salinity fluctuations of the Arctic Ocean surface waters, etc..
