Sentences with phrase «of outgoing long wave radiation»

The partition of the outgoing long wave radiation into upward atmospheric emittance and surface transmitted radiation components is based on the accurate computation of the true greenhouse - gas optical thickness for the radiosonde data.

GHGs slow the release of Outgoing Long wave radiation («OLR»), allegedly reflected in the energy imbalance at the top of atmosphere.

Thirdly, CE addresses the shortwave incident radiation without addressing the issue of outgoing long wave radiation that increases earth's temperature beyond unbearable limits.

My contribution had its ups and downs — a low point was definitely when Judge Alsup declared «your chart sucks» in response to a powerpoint slide (right) which showed an artist's impression of the Nimbus 4 satellite at the expense of a graph of how the spectrum of outgoing long wave radiation changed in response to rising greenhouse gases between 1970 and 1997.

Earth's energy balance In response to a positive radiative forcing F (see Appendix A), such as characterizes the present - day anthropogenic perturbation (Forsteret al., 2007), the planet must increase its net energy loss to space in order to re-establish energy balance (with net energy loss being the difference between the outgoing long - wave (LW) radiation and net incoming shortwave (SW) radiation at the top - of - atmosphere (TOA)-RRB-.

«• Rising Outgoing Long - wave radiation with more than 3.7 W / m ^ 2 per ºC SST can not be the effect of rising CO2 or of the increase of other «greenhouse» gases.

Observations suggest lower values for climate sensitivity whether we study long - term humidity, upper tropospheric temperature trends, outgoing long wave radiation, cloud cover changes, or the changes in the heat content of the vast oceans.

What do the satellite outgoing long wave radiation measurements show over that period of time?

This new paradigm states that rather than the TOA (top of the atmosphere) energy balance being maintained by changes to the outgoing long wave radiation (which is saturated), it is mainly maintained by changes to the outgoing short wave radiation, i.e. albedo.

«The Planck feedback parameter [equivalent to κ — 1] is negative (an increase in temperature enhances the long - wave emission to space and thus reduces R [the Earth's radiation budget]-RRB-, and its typical value for the earth's atmosphere, estimated from GCM calculations (Colman 2003; Soden and Held 2006), is ~ 3.2 W m2ºK — 1 (a value of ~ 3.8 W m2ºK — 1 is obtained by defining [κ — 1] simply as 4σT3, by equating the global mean outgoing long - wave radiation to σT4 and by assuming an emission temperature of 255 ºK).»

Such an increase is seen in the reanalyses, and the outgoing long - wave radiation has become more diffuse over time, consistent with an increased influence of greenhouse gases on the vertical energy flow from the surface to the top of the atmosphere.
