Sentences with phrase «in radiative equilibrium»

Small changes in oceanic or atmospheric circulation due to small changes in radiative equilibrium may translate in flooding here and drying there, warming here and cooling there, etc..

Miskolczi has inserted the simple result into the general model, which means, at best, it can only be applied to a «grey» atmosphere in radiative equilibrium, and at worst he has just created an equation soufflé.

Amazingly this means that you could have an adiabatic rate and the ground temperature would still be correctly estimated from a model in radiative equilibrium with no convection.

The TOA is the radiating «surface» on a planet with an atmosphere, which is in radiative equilibrium with the Sun at 255K.

(This just shows that while the stratosphere as a whole may be in radiative equilibrium, i.e., energy transfer is primarily by radiative means, there are some locations in the stratosphere where dynamic energy transport is also significant.)

But the added opacity will have its full effect in the stratosphere (which is in radiative equilibrium).

The only way this equation can be derived is with H as a constant, because the atmosphere is in radiative equilibrium.

We assume that the atmosphere is in radiative equilibrium — that is, convection does not exist and so only radiation moves heat around.

This is because the troposphere is very opaque, and so the temperature gradient that would need to exist for the troposphere to be in radiative equilibrium would be far steeper than in reality.
