He especially enjoys research focused on the study of matter at extreme conditions of high pressure, high temperature, and
high radiation flux.

In a very massive star, photon
radiation — the outward
flux of photons that is generated due to the star's very
high interior temperatures — pushes gas from the star outward in opposition to the gravitational force that pulls the gas back in.
The correlation we observed is compatible with the hypothesis that the
highest - energy particles originate from nearby extragalactic sources whose
flux has not been substantially reduced by interaction with the cosmic background
radiation.
As the atmospheric opacity is increased (e.g., 2xCO2), the physical location of the TAU = 1 level will rise to a
higher altitude, but the outgoing
flux will still come from the TAU = 1 level since
radiation doesn't care about the geometric scale), and the TAU = 1 level will still correspond to the same temperature (since the solar input energy is unchanged).
(& we have assumed that the energy - in
flux is constant) If the new GHG temperature is the same or
higher than the air temp, then there will be NO energy absorption by
radiation by the new GHGs or any other air or GHG molecules.
The increase / decrease of net upward LW
flux going from one level to a
higher level equals the net cooling / heating of that layer by LW
radiation — in equilibrium this must be balanaced by solar heating / cooling + convective / conductive heating / cooling, and those are related to
flux variation in height in the same way.
If it is in an isothermal layer, it will radiate upward as much as downward; it will decrease the baseline TRPP net
flux and increase the baseline TOA
flux by the same amount, but it will decrease the baseline TOA
flux by a greater amount if it is absorbing
radiation with a
higher brightness temperature from below (the baseline upward
flux at TRPP), so it will increase the amount by which the baseline net
flux at TRPP is greater than that at TOA.
Recent accurate laboratory measurements of the absorption in the CO2 band by CLOUD (1952) were used to calculate the
radiation flux in the atmosphere with the aid of the MIDAC
high speed digital computor.»
The other
fluxes (shortwave and longwave
radiation at both surface and top of atmosphere) show more «normal» cycles (though somewhat
higher values).
Ice significantly reduces the heat
flux between ocean and atmosphere; through its
high albedo it has a strong influence on the
radiation budget of the entire Arctic.
The atmosphere is analogous to a flexible lens that is shaped by the density distribution of the gas molecules, of the atmosphere in the space between the sphere holding them, and space; Incoming heat gets collected in many ways and places,, primarily by intermittent solar
radiation gets stored, in vast quantities, and slowly but also a barrage of mass and energy
fluxes from all directions; that are slowly transported great distances and to
higher altitudes mostly by oceanic and atmospheric mass flows.
ETH Zurich has expertise in developing and refining technologies geared towards the production of solar fuels and has unique experimental research facilities for controlled experimentation under
high -
flux solar
radiation.
It might help you if you had a few concepds in mind too when considering this subject, like «space» is the big energy «sink» with old sol (and the internal heat generating processes (including nuclear) of the earth) as sources... any mechanism that results in a delay of energy leaving earth, such as a «bounce - back» or a re-rad of energy (like back
radiation) certainly is going to increase the «energy
flux» in the system, and this in any way you want to frame the argument translates to a «
higher» energy state, and a
higher so - called temperature» (movement in matter, velocity of air molecules or oscillations in certain «resonant molecules) as well.
Likewise, the emission of CO2 within its absorption bands is just as effective as its interception, therefore this energy is partitioned throughout the atmosphere and radiated back to earth in its majority (because the escape of energy through the optically thick
higher levels of the atmosphere reduces the
flux, whereas the earth is still optically close by and a ready recipient of IR
radiation.
