Sentences with phrase «in radiant flux»

A positive net trend in radiant flux at TOA is defined as planetary warming.

The change in heat and work in the planetary system is made complicated by large changes in radiant flux at TOA due to changes in atmospheric and ocean circulation (Loeb et al 2012).

The difference in radiant flux will be smaller between 222 K and 255 K, and larger between 288 K and 321 K, and it will take a greater GHE TOA forcing to reduce the effective radiating temperature (the temperature of a blackbody that would emit a radiative flux) at TOA from 288 K to 277 K as it would to reduce it from 277 K to 266 K, etc..

The figure of Don Juan is an imaginative impossibility in our time because he comes from a period in which the human being was understood not merely as a biological machine, generated randomly out of the incessant flux of an aleatory universe, but as a radiant and terrible enigma, dangerously and daringly poised between beast and angel, hell and heaven, the elemental abyss and the infinite God: a period in which it was still just possible to believe that human freedom was not merely the all - but - illusory residue of a random confluence of mindless physical forces and organic mechanisms, but a glimpse of the transcendent within the world of matter.

Refraction, specifically the real component of refraction n (describes bending of rays, wavelength changes relative to a vacuum, affects blackbody fluxes and intensities — as opposed to the imaginary component, which is related to absorption and emission) is relatively unimportant to shaping radiant fluxes through the atmosphere on Earth (except on the small scale processes where it (along with difraction, reflection) gives rise to scattering, particularly of solar radiation — in that case, the effect on the larger scale can be described by scattering properties, the emergent behavior).

The skin layer planet is optically very thin, so it doesn't affect the OLR significantly, but (absent direct solar heating) the little bit of the radiant flux (approximatly equal to the OLR) from below that it absorbs must be (at equilibrium) balanced by emission, which will be both downward and upward, so the flux emitted in either direction is only half of what was absorbed from below; via Kirchhoff's Law, the temperature must be smaller than the brightness temperature of the OLR (for a grey gas, Tskin ^ 4 ~ = (Te ^ 4) / 2, where Te is the effective radiating temperature for the planet, equal to the brightness temperature of the OLR — *** HOWEVER, see below ***).

When optical thickness is large, the net flux will tend to be small, but the flux will vary with lapse rate (according to the corresponding Planck function «lapse rate») and a sufficiently sharp change in that lapse rate could lead to some significant flux convergence or divergence at that level (net radiant heating or cooling).

Synoptic scale forcing (e.g., wind bursts) were found to lead to tripling of phytoplankton pigment concentrations and a reduction in penetrative heat flux of 5.6 W m − 2 at 30 m, or a biogeochemically mediated increase in the radiant heating rate of 0.138 C / month.

Oceans gained energy to 1998 — pretty much in line with changes in ERBS net radiant flux.

OHC follows changes in TOA radiant flux as shown in the Wong et al 2006 paper — ocean / atmosphere heat transfer obviously occurs but the fundamental metric is at TOA.

We are not interested in temperature here — but directly in the measurements of radiant flux in various wavelengths.

The planetary heat content — and therefore OHC — must follow the changes in TOA radiant flux by the first law of thermodynamics.

Greenhouse gas forcing can not be seen in top of atmosphere radiant flux.

Energy in and energy out are measured as radiant flux over one second — i.e. the instantaneous energy flux.

Net radiant energy flux from the plane of the detector in the absence of the detector and box would the vector sum of Irradiances (= Emittance for a collimated beam).

In fact temperature increases in the atmosphere and the radiant flux is restored to the conditional equilibriuIn fact temperature increases in the atmosphere and the radiant flux is restored to the conditional equilibriuin the atmosphere and the radiant flux is restored to the conditional equilibrium.

CERES anomalies provide a new precision in measuring changes in TOA radiant flux.

The change in average radiant flux at the surface is too little to be more than a small part of the puzzle.

Instead, it gives Radiant Emittance (aka Exitance), the Potential Energy Flux in a vacuum to a radiation sink at absolute zero.

Natural or anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere induces a «radiative forcing» ΔF, defined by IPCC (2001: ch.6.1) asa change in net (down minus up) radiant - energy flux at the tropopause in response to a perturbation.

The fundamental equation of radiative transfer at the emitting surface of an astronomical body, relating changes in radiant - energy flux to changes in temperature, is the Stefan - Boltzmann equation --

However, the IPCC, in its evaluation of κ, does not follow the rule that in the Stefan - Boltzmann equation the temperature and radiant - energy flux must be taken at the same level of the atmosphere.
