Sentences with phrase «radiation to space»

This absorption slows the rate of radiation to space.

It is fastest over land where heat received by day is all lost by radiation to space at night although there are seasonal variations around the globe.

Although radiation to space occurs over the whole planet there is a general movement of heat from equator to poles via the oceans and atmosphere.

We know that the effect of adding CO2 and other greenhouse gases is to reduce the heat radiation to space - it acts like a blanket.

The important issues is the emission of radiation to space — and at what height this takes place from — that causes the surface temperature to change.

I will have to read the article again but radiation to space occurs mainly at the top of the atmosphere.

The answer is yes, it slightly raises the location of outgoing radiation to space, and thus the lapse rate times the slight increase in altitude would raise the ground temperature.

By contrast, the atmosphere emits thermal radiation both to space and to the surface, yet it receives long - wave radiation back from only the latter.

The same is true at the top of the atmosphere where the outgoing longwave radiation to space is also unidirectional.

The illustration clearly shows that thermals and evapotranspiration account for a total of 97 watts per square meter delivered to the atmosphere for re-radiation to space, while total radiation to space is 341 watts per square meter.

A primary way UHI is going to affect temperatures is via reduced radiation to space from a horizion effect (i.e. close to buildings, etc. a goodly # of the sky will be blocked and there will be less radiation through the IR holes directly to space.

This warming has increased Earth's energy radiation to space, but the excess greenhouse gases are still trapping more heat than the Earth is radiating to space.

3) Less radiation to space — sorry, there's more.

All the descriptions of the evaporative process that I have seen so far concern themselves just with the evaporative and precipitation aspects as part of the hydrological cycle and ignore the condensation part in so far as it releases heat energy higher in the atmosphere for faster radiation to space.

«This (smoke aerosols in clouds) reflects more solar radiation to space, which results in less solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface.

Part Six — Nonlinearity and Dry Atmospheres — demonstrating that different distributions of water vapor yet with the same mean can result in different radiation to space, and how this is important for drier regions like the sub-tropics

Slowing the escape of radiation to space means the planet is warmer than it would have been otherwise.

The greater the density of water and CO2 the greater the altitude at which unobstructed radiation to space can occur.
