Sentences with phrase «measured atmospheric absorption»

Not exact matches

In addition, the unmanned drones provide a new and relatively cheap method for measuring such atmospheric effects, such as powerful storms or the absorption of sunlight in regular clouds.

Using the bright light generated by these stars, researchers will be able to use spectroscopy — a technique that measures the absorption and emission of light — to determine a planet's mass, density and atmospheric composition, which could provide insights into whether or not it harbors life.
