«These data are a fundamental reference for the
radiation hazards in
near Earth «geospace» out to Mars and other regions of our
sun's vast heliosphere,» says CRaTER principal investigator Nathan Schwadron of the UNH Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space (EOS).
The largest of these eruptions cause what is known as space weather — the
radiation, energetic particles and magnetic field releases from the
Sun powerful enough to cause severe effects in Earth's
near environment, such as the disruption of communications, power lines and navigations systems.
Although nowhere
near as strong as a magnetar, it is still strong enough to protects us from harmful
radiation sent from the
Sun, and it causes the beautiful Northern Lights!
However, in comparison with the solar case, the FIR photosphere of alpha Cen A appears marginally cooler, Tmin = T160mu = 3920 + / -375 K. Beyond the minimum
near 160mu, the brightness temperatures increase and this
radiation likely originates in warmer regions of the chromosphere of alpha Cen A. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time a temperature minimum has been directly measured on a main - sequence star other than the
Sun.
And the highest intensity of the electromagnetic
radiation coming form our
sun is in the visible and
near infrared part of this spectrum.
Visible and
near - visible
radiation from the
sun easily gets through, but thermal
radiation from the surface can't easily get back out.
«This H2O negative - feedback effect on CO2 is ignored in models that assume that warm moist air does not rise and form sunlight - reflecting clouds, but remains as humid air
near sea level, absorbing infrared
radiation from the
sun, and approximately doubling the temperature rises predicted from atmospheric CO2 increases.
Now the
sun would be expected to set up an undisturbed gradient from cold at the bottom to warm at the top but it does not because upward
radiation from the surface plus energy drawn upwards by evaporation at the surface creates a layer 1 mm deep
near the surface (the subskin) which is 0.3 C cooler than the water below it.
* The real spectra is not very close to any blackbody spectra (slightly different shape) * The measurement devices do not agree * The
radiation temperature of the center of the solar disk is higher than the apparent temperature
near the edge * The temperature of the outer corona is more than 1,000 hotter than the «surface» * The
Sun does not have a surface * The distance between the Earth and
Sun varies (the orbit is an ellipse), and different references handle this differently
The first, the Visible Light Window, on the left side of the graphic, allows visible and
near - visible light from the
Sun to pass through with small losses, and the second, the Longwave Window, on the right, allows the central portion of the longwave
radiation band from the Earth to pass through with small losses, while absorbing and re-emitting the left and right portions.
