Sentences with phrase «non radiative energy»

The consequent circulatory changes alter the rate of non radiative energy flow through the system to neutralise the thermal effect of whatever forcing element was trying to destabilise the system in the first place.

It couldn't be quite as fast as on a planet with no atmosphere because there would also be non radiative energy exchanges between the GHGs and the ground via conduction and convection.

Not exact matches

3) Under the assumption of radiative equilibrium, it can be shown that the surface temperature of a planet would slightly and non linearily increase with the concentration of IR active gases (primarily H2O) if and only if radiation was the only mean for energy transfer.

It is my understanding that radiative gases provide an additional radiative route for energy loss to space that non radiative gases fail to provide.

The rate of upward energy transmission by non radiative means is also relevant as per my proposition.

You had to elaborate your answer by saying that gases with non polar molecule symmetry do not absorb or emit energy within the temperature parameters with any application in engineering, e.g. O2, N2, H2..., while gases with polar molecule symmetries are significant absorbers and emitters of radiative energy, e.g. H2O, CO2, SO3... for engineering applications, depending of their density, temperature and pressure in a given environment.

A lot of confusion seems to lie in not realizing that all the energy entering and leaving at the TOA is radiative, and as a result of this the effect of the non radiative fluxes from the surface (from latent heat of water and thermals) on the radiative budget has to be zero, because COE dictates that the atmosphere can not create any energy of its own.
