Sentences with phrase «radiating temperature»

So, the «back radiation» from the greenhouse gas can only heat the surface (at best) to less than the surface radiating temperature which «warmed» the greenhouse gas.

On average, there won't be a change in the equilibrium radiating temperature of the Earth, but there will be a change in the effective radiating altitude consequent on the change in the atmosphere's effective thermal conductance.

The upwelling version has a wide field of view for measuring the narrowband radiating temperature of the ground surface.

This is what is causing global warming, and not the change in the radiating temperature of the tropopause, which satellites measurements have failed to find.

This implies that there is a level in the atmosphere (called the effective radiating level) that must be at the effective radiating temperature (around 252K).

It also relies on the radiating temperature being different from the surface temperature, which generally requires a temperature decrease with height.

Hence the 255K figure is wrong and the radiating temperature of the surface of this dry rocky planet sans water, CO2 etc would be 278K.

-LSB--LSB-»... it seems that the assumption is that the «radiating temperature» is uniquely determined by insolation.

Yes, because we are talking about the radiating temperature of the planet AS A WHOLE («black - body temperature», I believe is an acceptable term), which INCLUDES the atmosphere,... the whole body as seen from a distance in space.

Planets with solid surfaces and with CO2 in their atmospheres show a clear pattern of relationships between atmospheric pressure, distance from the sun, and radiating temperature.

Radiating temperature IS uniquely determined by insolation.

The RADIATING TEMPERATURE of Venus, then, is the fourth root of 1.91, or 1.176 greater than the radiating temperature of Earth.»
