Sentences with phrase «of absorptivity»

This limit of absorptivity is important because some skeptics argue that, between water vapor and CO2, every available ray of IR within the absorption ranges of CO2 is already being absorbed.

Note in Equation B that I have made explicit the dependence of emissivity on the temperature of the atmosphere at that time, and the dependence of absorptivity on the temperature of the surface.

(Their calculation used: Absorptivity of 0.69, Emissivity of 1.0, Incident flux at earth of 1368W / m ^ 2 and absorption as the product of Absorptivity and Incident.)

Incidentally, I have also agreed (several times) that the value of absorptivity is temperature dependant.
