Sentences with phrase «micron radiation from the surface»

Not exact matches

Hypothesis A — Because the atmospheric radiation is completely absorbed in the first few microns it will cause evaporation of the surface layer, which takes away the energy from the back radiation as latent heat into the atmosphere.

15 micron radiation is emitted from all the earth's surface.

CO2 molecules are incapable of absorbing any radiation above the 15 micron band from the earth's surface.

In Earth's atmosphere, there is a «window» between the 8 and 12 micron band where there is virtually no absorption going on, and through which IR radiation passes out from the surface to space virtually unimpeded.

What you find is that in the region between 8 and 14 microns the equivalent radiation temperature is the surface temeprature of earth (which means the radiation comes from the surface — nothing else is warm enough) whereas at the GHG absorption wavelengths the equivalent radiation temperature is that of the tropopause.

Because the atmospheric radiation is completely absorbed in the first few microns it will cause evaporation of the surface layer, which takes away the energy from the back radiation as latent heat into the atmosphere.
