Sentences with phrase «radiation changed slightly»

Not exact matches

ie does a slightly lower density of air mean a slightly lower ground level temperature (temperature normally decreases with height at the lower air density), so that in reality adding CO2 and subtracting more O2 actually causes miniscule or trivial global COOLING, and the (unused) ability of the changed atmosphere to absorb radiation energy and transmit it to the rest of the air is overruled or limited by the ideal gas law?

These changes in cloud cover could affect how much of the sun's radiation is reflected by the clouds, leading to a slightly warmer planet, the scientists said.

Thus, during convection, gravity is slightly decreasing the energy of the atmosphere, by changing the radiation balance in favor of more heat loss from the descending air than rising air.
