Sentences with phrase «molecules near the surface»

UP IR turns it off because non thermally activated GHG molecules near the surface that absorb UP photons can't absorb DOWN photons.

The end result is there's virtually no heating beyond the first few micrometers and the molecules near the surface just keep picking up more and more energy as latent heat until they have enough energy to vaporize and then they leave the surface and quickly convect upwards because water vapor is lighter than air.

Dave Springer says: ``... the molecules near the surface just keep picking up more and more energy as latent heat until they have enough energy to vaporize and then they leave the surface and quickly convect upwards because water vapor is lighter than air.

These photons in these ranges will be immediately be absorbed by the respective O2 or N2 molecules near the surface, that is a swag but a sure one.

Not exact matches

Molecules originating on or near Earth's surface are propelled upward based on their energy, he observes.

These classes of molecules are commonly found near the ocean's surface, and they are ubiquitous in biology.

Since only a small proportion of the molecules are located near the surface and are moving in the proper direction to escape at any given instant, the rate of evaporation is limited.

This molecule, a type of sugar, has become chemically glued to a location on the virus's surface near where human antibodies — immune system watchdogs — attach to mark the virus as a dangerous invader.

Chemists in California have identified and synthesised a complex sugar molecule which lies on the surface of white blood cells, and through which the cells «recognise» those blood vessels that lie near injured tissue.

If you imagine the female egg cell (and later, the fertilized egg) as a spherical planet with its own intrinsic biological geography, then certain characteristics of that cell — the location of protein molecules or RNA messages or biochemical traits like pH or even the internal connective structures called microtubules — will be more prominent in certain regions, like one hemisphere as opposed to the other, or near the surface rather than near the core.

The sugar molecule attaches itself to a protein called E-selectin, which is produced on the surface of blood vessels near damaged tissue.

Near Titan's surface, about 5 percent of the atmospheric molecules are methane, the fraction decreasing with altitude.

Unless CO2 at temperatures near the surface has a reasonable population of vibrationally excited molecules then the heat generated by IR absorbtion can not be redistributed radiationally.

Although that will be true in the mid atmosphere, do you agree that is not the case near the surface of the Earth where the greenhouse molecules are being excited by blackbody radiation from the Earth's surface, but are being relaxed by collisions with other air molecules such as N2 & O2?

With the maximum molecule - molecule reactions going on near the surface, because that is where the atmosphere is at its densest, much of the measured LWIR could well come from the lowest 30m instead of the much colder upper troposphere.

The pennies are water molecules, the nickels carbon dioxide, many more pennies that nickels when near «surface».

If we were to add H2O molecules to the equation, unlike CO2 which is evenly distributed throughout the atmosphere, the H2O molecules would be clustered at the bottom of the atmosphere near earth surface.
