Sentences with phrase «low angles of incidence»

Water gets very reflective at low angles of incidence, such as the Arctic circle.

I am not sure how the physics of that works, however, but it certainly absorbs heat, even at low angles of incidence.

Arctic albedo / sea ice extents are also falsified by the (lack of) absorption of the radiation at low angles of incidence.

Albedo is high all year round because of the low angle of incidence.

Not exact matches

Exterior temperature has a small influence on the result, and large angles of incidence will result in lower SHGCs than more normal angles.

Ice models do take account of incident angle but seem to model the angle largely on some lower latitude Atlantic sea measurements where wind makes the surface choppy enough that there's not too much of the low incidence where this happens.

The argument that melt ponds have low albedo and thus accelterate melting is relevant at higher angles of incidence.

You don't think it has anything to do with far lower insolation at the poles due to small angle of incidence compounded by an albedo of 0.85?

The angle of incidence, which is low, aiding in the reflection of incoming light.

Furthermore, it can be seen that due to the lower incidence angle of the solar radiation at lower latitudes, TEC at 35 ° N is principally higher than TEC at 65 ° N. Differences between both latitudes are always positive at day - time and reach up to 20 TECU while following the solar cycle dynamics.

It is also because angle of incidence in the polar regions is so low compared with the other regions of the world.

H) Thus, at low angles of solar incidence, less than 25 % of the available solar direct energy is absorbed into open, rough water.
