Sentences with phrase «long wave bands»

More GHG equals more absorption and re-emitting of long wave bands, and that equals an increase in temperatures.»

Not exact matches

It's called optical SETI, and its instruments are focused on a different band of the light spectrum than radio astronomy, looking instead at the same waves our eyes take in, along with infrared frequencies, which are just a smidge longer.

When it has all its receiver bands enabled, ALMA will capture radiation from space in longer wavelengths, from a few hundred micrometers to approximately 1 millimeter (close to one thousand times longer than visible light waves).

Walk a poppy - trimmed path to the tip of the park's dramatic, limestone point to look down into turquoise - blue water, long bands of bull kelp swaying in the waves.

In reply to # 1, greenhouse gases absorb selective bands of radiation in the atmosphere and re-radiate them in all directions as longer wave infrared.

Each GHG [greenhouse gas] absorbs and re-emits certain bands of the long wave radiation coming off the Earth.

Roy Spencer's thoughtful and well - considered explanation of how a colder body adjacent to a warmer body can make that warmer body warmer still is excellent, as is Jack Barrett's paper explaining the behaviour of greenhouse - gas molecules at the quantum level when they interact with long - wave radiation at their characteristic absorption wavelengths (their «absorption bands»).

The most highly variable parts of the Sun's spectrum of radiation are found at the very shortest wavelengths — the ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray region — and in the very longest and far less energetic band of radio waves.

The radiative route takes two paths a. Collision activation of longer wave IR emissions from H2O is favoured for two reasons (i) Nearly 40 times more H2O molecules than CO2 (ii) Plenty H2O bands at wavelengths > 15um = > much more probable.

The longer waves used by the 2.4 GHz band are better suited to longer ranges and transmission through walls and solid objects.
