Sentences with phrase «planetary radiation balance»

The comparison between L&S's physics - free curve - fitting exercise and Raypierre's textbook introduction to planetary radiation balance lost me, I'm afraid.

In this way I've benefited from courses on global climate change, climatology, future energy supply and demand, the physics of the greenhouse effect and planetary radiation balance, and climate politics and policy options.

Not exact matches

Perhaps there is room for more indicators inspired by the «big picture physics», such as the planetary energy balance and the outgoing long - wave radiation (OLR).

This is because part of the outgoing radiation signal (albeit small) is emerging from relatively warm layers aloft, and thus slightly less emission is demanded from the troposphere in order to satisfy planetary energy balance.

The general argument however is being discussed by rasmus in the context of planetary energy balance: the impact of additional CO2 is to reduce the outgoing longwave radiation term and force the system to accumulate excess energy; the imbalance is currently on the order of 1.45 * (10 ^ 22) Joules / year over the globe, and the temperature must rise allowing the outgoing radiation term to increase until it once again matches the absorbed incoming stellar flux.

Dynamical upward transport by convection removes excess heat from the surface more efficiently than longwave radiation is able to accomplish in the presence of a humid, optically thick boundary layer, and deposits it in the upper troposphere where it is more easily radiated to space, thereby affecting the planetary energy balance.

Moreover, the loss of sea ice would have altered the planetary albedo, causing the planet to warm until clouds cover had increased enough for the radiation balance at the TOA to be restored.
