Sentences with phrase «radiation input»
Just about two years ago, Chemistry Nobelist, and atmospheric scientist Paul Crutzen opened a huge can of worms by suggesting that, since the world doesn't seem to be getting its act together to significantly reduce CO2 emissions, it would be prudent to think about emergency measures in which we engineer ourselves out of the crisis by monkeying directly with the Earth's solar radiation input instead of dealing with the CO2 content of the atmosphere.

Clouds reflect sunlight, which reduces solar radiation input to the Earth - atmosphere system.
Forecasts for road surface temperatures can be improved considerably by correcting the radiation input.
The objective of this recently published study was to investigate how correcting the radiation input could best be used in the Finnish Meteorological Institute's road weather model.

Based on inputs that include collector area, orientation, and solar radiation, it provides collector incidence angle, radiation input to the collector and other outputs.
The difference between the reluctance of ice melting and the rapidity towards ice formation leads to hysteresis: when there is a difference between the radiation inputs at which ice comes and goes, two distinctly different global mean temperatures can arise under the same intermediate radiation inputs, depending on whether the input was waxing or waning (1).
A key problem in GCM (not NWP) modelling is long - term stability, and sensitivity to small changes in surface conditions or radiation input.
