Sentences with phrase «outgoing radiant energy»

Greenhouse gases don't block all outgoing radiant energy — it merely slows it down by capturing more infrared photons and re-emitting in all directions including down — increasing net energy retained at any instant in the atmosphere.

I'm not aware that it is common knowledge that MODTRAN programs can calculate the change in outgoing radiant energy as a function of a change in surface temperature, all other factors held constant.

It is the density, not the composition which gives more or less opportunities for such instances of energy transfer between molecules whilst the incoming and outgoing radiant energy is negotiating the atmosphere.

Not exact matches

The time scales involved remain miniscule on the level of an individual molecule BUT on a planetary scale they become highly significant and build up to a measurable delay between arrival of solar radiant energy and its release to space as outgoing radiation.

Cloud and Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) instruments aboard NASA satellites measure incoming and outgoing radiant power at the top of the atmoRadiant Energy System (CERES) instruments aboard NASA satellites measure incoming and outgoing radiant power at the top of the atmoradiant power at the top of the atmosphere.
