Sentences with phrase «of absorption of»

Any other form of energy can be turned into heat, either partially, or completely; and what lay folks refer to as «heat» is simply the result of turning some other form of energy; which can include EM radiation; once again, all the way from down to but not including DC, up to the end of the gama ray spectrum (orbeyond), into the waste mechanical energy of some physical matter; and for most people that is a result of absorption of EM radiation by mostly water in the human body; that's what WE feel as «heat».

If you accept diurnal variation as a proxy for net absorption, since the quantum mechanical effect of absorption is to heat the air, then you can see from Fig. 2 that most of the net absorption occurs below 850 mb and that above 500 mb the tiny amount of net absorption slowly increases showing that it is the result of the absorption of solar not terrestrial radiation.

That is determined by consideration of the absorption of the atmosphere of terrestrial radiation (and radiation emitted by the atmosphere), which essentially ends up determining at what altitude the temperature has to be determined via radiative balance between the Earth system (earth + atmosphere) and the sun and space [which for the earth system with its current albedo is ~ 255 K].

The problem I have is whether the atmosphere is warm simply because of the absorption of solar energy (a combination of absorption of incoming solar radiation and absorption of reflected and radiated solar energy from the bottom up) and adiabatic lapse, or whether in addition back radiation from GHGs plays a significant role.

In the absence of absorption of terrestrial radiation by the atmosphere (and with the other caveats about still having the same albedo and such), that average temperature would have to be 255 K at the surface because of radiative balance and then the temperature would decrease with height at the lapse rate from there.

This will clearly result in more papers trying to explain this fact on subjects such as climate sensitivity, as well as whether or not CFCs caused more warming than originally thought, radiation of heat into space as earth's effective temperature increases, and whether the saturation of absorption of EMR by CO2 in the atmosphere actually fits the logrithmic curve.

I do think, however, that it is significant (short term, not a firm trend) that CO2, as measured at MLO, has been increasing at a smaller rate than in previous years despite the fact that overall anthropogenic CO2 output is not decreasing and, furthermore, that the short term trend of the absolute increase is also down which indicates a greater rate of absorption of CO2 than in previous years — which to me would indicate an ongoing cooling of the oceans as per the theory that a cooling ocean absorbs more CO2 while a warming ocean releases more CO2.

The rate of absorption of carbon dioxide increases as the percentage of carbon dioxide increases.

Figure 2 shows the amount of absorption of each greenhouse gas.

There might be some very slight effect of the absorption of sunlight by the extra CO2, but I suspect this effect is negligible.

The stratosphere is less transparent to SW radiation because of absorption of UV by oxygen and ozone and more transparent to LW radiation.

A secondary issue is that bolometers on satellites show the CO2 15 micron band is depleted at TOA and imagine this is because of absorption of surface IR in those wavelengths by GHG absorption.

In consequence of that absorption of CO2 from atmosphere to sea surface sinks gets slower which makes more CO2 from total CO2 emissions stay in atmosphere; e.g. comments https://judithcurry.com/2011/08/04/carbon-cycle-questions/#comment-198992; and https://judithcurry.com/2013/01/16/hansen-on-the-standstill/#comment-287036.

I would expect the factor of 77 to 103 greater abundance of H2O relative to CO2 to be reflected in the role H2O serves in cooling of this vital region unless this advantage was compensated by a higher rate of absorption of that energy caused by the same high abundance of H2O.

Note that this is ignoring the effect of any absorption of energy from external sources (eg., sunlight) in the upper atmosphere.

But nevertheless, the above graph of absorption of water, CO2 and other GHGs is what is measured in laboratories and upscaled to global circumstances.

In particular some of the discussion of the absorption of CO2 vs H2O, including the fact that at surface pressures H2O bands do indeed blur with CO2 bands needs to be looked at.

I have recently become concerned about the continuing reduction in pH of the oceans as a result of their absorption of carbon dioxide.

What this means is that the overall rate of absorption of CO2 by the oceans is a complex function of numerous processes — biological, chemical and physical — whose individual contributions are still a matter of active scientific research (and which are certainly changing as the planet warms).

EWFf is also equal to the distribution of absorption of a flux per unit area, through the same area, going in an opposite direction, provided that the flux is isotropic (constant intensity) over the whole hemisphere of directions, with intensity = 1.

EWF is a density over distance along a line (in the absence of scattering, etc.) or lines (when partial specular reflection occurs), or a density over volume (when scattering contributes to the CSD), where the sum over all space = 1; it matches the distribution over space of the absorption of a unit amount of radiation incident at L from the opposite direction.

There are certain basics of the absorption of heat by the ocean which are unclear to me and which seem relevant here.
