Sentences with phrase «incoming shortwave radiation»

A greenhouse forcing is caused by changing the OLR so there is an imbalance between incoming shortwave radiation and OLR.

This page outlines a map of assessment through the unit, including skill based questions, short writing responses and extended writing responses including essays.The atmospheric system, including the natural greenhouse effect and energy balance (incoming shortwave radiation and outgoing long wave radiation) Changes in the global energy balance, and the role of feedback loops, resulting from: Glossary - Student should make...

Suppose further that a fraction «a» of the incoming shortwave radiation is absorbed in the atmosphere (with the remainder being absorbed by the ground).

Some models include volcanic effects by simply perturbing the incoming shortwave radiation at the top of the atmosphere, while others simulate explicitly the radiative effects of the aerosols in the stratosphere.

One can do a similar type of diagram against the incoming shortwave radiation, but in any case the presence of an albedo feedback makes multiple temperature solutions possible, even for the same incoming stellar radiation and greenhouse effect.

In other words, a bigger share of the 240 W / m 2 of the vertical energy transport will be transported by convective / advective means with a stronger GHE, and a smaller share by radiative means because the sum of convective vertical energy transport plus the diminished radiative flux must add up to about 240 W / m 2 in order to balance the incoming shortwave radiation.
