Sentences with phrase «infrared out of the layer»

Imagine that its only radiatively active moiety is CO2 — no ozone, no water to speak of, etc. — so that its temperature is determined by the balance between absorption of incoming infrared by CO2 and emission of infrared out of the layer by CO2.

Not exact matches

The deep penetration of infrared heat releases toxins from the fat layers just beneath the skin and flushes out those toxins through the sweat.

Once the heated layer becomes more than a few centimeters thick, the heat loss of the skin layer due to downward conduction of heat by diffusion stops having any significant effect on the surface temperature, since rock is such a good insulator that the heat flux by conduction in rock is tiny compared to the heat loss by infrared radiation out the top.

Thus, for a well - coupled convecting troposphere, one defines the climate sensitivity (in the absence of feedback) as 1 / [d (SB) / dT] = 1 / (4 * sigma * T ^ 3), where T in this case is actually the emission temperature of the planet where infrared radiation leaks out to space (analogous to the photosphere of the sun, where eventually the outer layers of the sun become optically thin to visible radiation, and allow that energy to escape to space), not the surface temperature.

His exposition does not deal with the real situation of the atmosphere, which is in effect a layer of gas dealing with an infrared energy flux emanating from the Earth's surface and which passes out into the void of space.
