Sentences with phrase «mean incoming solar»

Not exact matches

Incoming solar energy is determined from an ~ 11 year Solar Irradiance cycle, which varies by less than a couple of Watts / m2 from the yearly solar energy is determined from an ~ 11 year Solar Irradiance cycle, which varies by less than a couple of Watts / m2 from the yearly Solar Irradiance cycle, which varies by less than a couple of Watts / m2 from the yearly mean.

You ask me, and individuals should get at least a 50 % tax break on residential solar projects, and businesses should get a huge property and income tax break for investing in green energy (and by this I mean wind, solar, and hydro...» clean coal» is a farce).

However, the fact that trees are generally darker than most other land coverings means that forested parts of the Earth's surface reflect away less incoming solar radiation, giving forests a warming effect.

The share of solar installations within middle class neighborhoods — those in the $ 40,000 to $ 90,000 income range — continues to increase, meaning that solar installers are relying less on wealthier customers to drive growth and more on middle income customers.

For an equilibrium climate, global mean outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) necessarily balances the incoming absorbed solar radiation (ASR), but with redistributions of energy within the climate system to enable this to happen on a global basis.

Because there are no upfront costs, this model provides a means for low - income community members to access the benefits of solar.

If the earth's atmosphere were completely transparent to longwave radiation, what would the mean global temperature be, if incoming solar radiation and albedo remained at initial values?

However, there have been proposals to mitigate climate change not by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, but by increasing the reflection of incoming solar radiation with mirrors, aerosols (small particles), or other means.

But an «insensitive» climate means that changes in the incoming solar radiation, greenhouse gases, and so on, aren't going to have a big effect.

When you say absorbed by earth system, this mostly means amount the surface warms up and the atmosphere itself is only absorbing a small percentage of the incoming solar flux?

However, it is likely that at night (when there is no incoming solar energy) or at other times when atmospheric conditions are such that there is a temperature inversion, any LWIR that has been delayed has sufficient opportunity to radiate to space there by meaning that no excess heat is «trapped» (ie., the heat in the atmosphere does not build up).

Since there is virtually no latent or sensible heat involved here, this means the sum of incoming solar (not including albedo), outgoing longwave, and incoming (returning) longwave is zero.

As I understand it global temperatures are calculated as anomalies, thus removing seasonal swings, but that Heat Content is not, Now our dear planet has an elliptical orbit and is sometimes closer to the sun that others; sure, the shape of the land and oceans doesn't mean that the amount of incoming solar radiation falling on the oceans follows the Earths orbit, but it should be possible to work out the amount of incoming solar radiation each quarter.

In fact, the introduction of a renewable energy feed - in tariff means that owners of solar installations are guaranteed an income for every unit of energy they produce, and that income is tax free, and comes on top of the savings that homeowners will enjoy on their energy bills.

«For a new solar system installed and sold within 2015 and 2016 (using the average income value), the mean value was $ 2.12 / Watt and $ 2.17 / Watt respectively.

For a steady - state climate, global mean outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) necessarily balances the incoming absorbed solar radiation (ASR), but with redistributions of energy within the climate system to enable this to happen on a global basis.

The Sun Exchange allows you to purchase solar energy cells and lease them to schools and enterprises as a means of generating income.
