Sentences with phrase «outgoing energy back»

To deal with that it is proposed that radiatively active gases in the atmosphere cause that uplift in temperature by radiating outgoing energy back to the surface for a reduction of the rate of cooling which then causes a surface temperature enhancement.

(yes, they also reflect outgoing energy back down... less incoming, less outgoing).

Not exact matches

Every penny saved on energy and upkeep outgoings is money that can be ploughed back into teaching, he says

The major physics at play here is that as long as there is less outgoing radiated energy than incoming, temperatures must increase until we are back at equilibrium.

If the surface and lower atmosphere become warmer than the temperature set by insolation, gravity and mass they will emit more energy to space, there will be more energy outgoing than incoming and the system will cool back to the earlier temperature.

The greenhouse effect heats the earth because greenhouse gases absorb outgoing radiative energy and re-emit some of it back towards earth.

In other words, * we can observe the increase of CO2 in atmosphere above the ocean, * CO2 absorbs some part of the outgoing radiation from the surface of the ocean which increases somewhat the temperature of the air * The increasing of temperature causes the (slight) increase of the (already existing) back radiation * This (now increased) back radiation is absorbed by the surface skin layer of the ocean which means that the energy delivered by the back radiation to the surface skin layer is now slightly higher * This additional energy will now be distributed over the channels that are participating in the heat transfer from the absorbing surface skin layer to both the air above the skin layer and the bulk of the ocean.

I get upset when I see «The greenhouse effect heats the earth because greenhouse gases absorb outgoing radiative energy and re-emit some of it back towards earth.»

A real greenhouse primarily restricts heat escape by preventing convection while the «greenhouse effect» heats the Earth because «greenhouse gases» (GHG) absorb outgoing radiative energy and re-emit some of it back towards Earth.
