Sentences with phrase «radiation than at night»

For example, if global warming were due to increased solar output, we would expect to see all layers of the atmosphere warm, and more warming during the day when the surface is bombarded with solar radiation than at night.

For example, if global warming were due to increased solar output, we would expect to see all layers of the atmosphere warm, and more warming during the day when the surface is bombarded with solar radiation than at night.

Not exact matches

Also at the same time, the much higher daytime skin surface temperature (more than offsetting the somewhat colder night - time skin surface temperature which is often ameliorated by condensation and shallow fog layers) causes more infrared radiation to be emitted to space.

The lapse rate (despite the temperature inversions near the surface at night and in the winter polar regions) insures that the radiation of the air absorbed by the surface is slightly less than the radiation of the surface absorbed by the air.

However, since days are generally warmer than nights, the resulting loss of heat by radiation at night is much smaller than the energy reflected by clouds during daytime.

When DLR from a clear sky (either at night or by day) is present it does not significantly decrease upward radiation in the way that a cloud does and it increases evaporation by adding energy to the interacting layer (the top 10 microns) and then allowing maximum convection rather than suppressing it in the way that a cloud does.

Warming is greater in the northern hemisphere, over land, and at night, greater in the troposphere and cooler in the stratosphere, all indications of greenhouse warming rather than warming from solar radiation changes or other «natural» causes.

IF back radiation existed and if there was some 333 w / m ^ 2 of back radiation beating down on the ground, the black marble slaps should be significantly warmer than the white marble slaps at night or on cloudy days.

Clouds make warmer nights because the clouds are usually warmer than the normal air temperature at that altitude and therefore the surface's rate of loss by radiation upward will be less leaving you with a warmer than normal night.

wayne said: Clouds make warmer nights because the clouds are usually warmer than the normal air temperature at that altitude and therefore the surface's rate of loss by radiation upward will be less leaving you with a warmer than normal night.

In the particular instance of so - called back radiation the reality is that if you point an IR spectrometer up at the night sky photons of far higher energy than the cosmic microwave background are hitting it.

Tyndall had pointed out more than a century back that basic physics declared that the greenhouse effect would act most effectively at night, as the gases impeded radiation from escaping into space.
