Sentences with phrase «ozone absorbs these wavelengths»

When ozone absorbs these wavelengths of UV light, the compound is destroyed.

Not exact matches

Because ozone and other constituents absorb light at known wavelengths, the researchers were able to calculate the amount of ozone and other gases.

In the longer wavelengths, ozone absorbs around 9.6 μm.

In the very short wavelengths — below 0.3 μm — oxygen and ozone both absorb solar radiation.

Warming must occur below the tropopause to increase the net LW flux out of the tropopause to balance the tropopause - level forcing; there is some feedback at that point as the stratosphere is «forced» by the fraction of that increase which it absorbs, and a fraction of that is transfered back to the tropopause level — for an optically thick stratosphere that could be significant, but I think it may be minor for the Earth as it is (while CO2 optical thickness of the stratosphere alone is large near the center of the band, most of the wavelengths in which the stratosphere is not transparent have a more moderate optical thickness on the order of 1 (mainly from stratospheric water vapor; stratospheric ozone makes a contribution over a narrow wavelength band, reaching somewhat larger optical thickness than stratospheric water vapor)(in the limit of an optically thin stratosphere at most wavelengths where the stratosphere is not transparent, changes in the net flux out of the stratosphere caused by stratospheric warming or cooling will tend to be evenly split between upward at TOA and downward at the tropopause; with greater optically thickness over a larger fraction of optically - significant wavelengths, the distribution of warming or cooling within the stratosphere will affect how such a change is distributed, and it would even be possible for stratospheric adjustment to have opposite effects on the downward flux at the tropopause and the upward flux at TOA).

What they found was a drop in Escaping Infra Red radiation at the PRECISE wavelength bands that greenhouse gases such as CO2 with H2O, CFC's, Ozone, Nitrous Oxides, & methane (CH4) absorb energy.

The basic principle of the DIAL technique is to transmit two short laser pulses vertically into the atmosphere, one having a wavelength in an absorption band of ozone (typically 308 nm) and the other not absorbed by ozone — or not so strongly absorbed (typically 355 nm).

Solar cycle variability is greatest at ultraviolet wavelengths, which are largely absorbed by the stratospheric ozone layer.
