Sentences with phrase «radiation transport»

One is to acknowledge that calculation of radiation transport through a partially opaque atmosphere is one of those problems that seems easy until you try to write down the equations, and then you find it's a monster — the great mathematical physicist S. Chandrasekhar spent years working on it and wrote a book full of equations on stellar atmospheres that I think hardly anyone in atmospheric physics even tries to read.

▷ Best Available Climate Science Derives from thermodynamic considerations associated to conservation of mass, conservation of energy, and increase of entropy, as instantiated by radiation transport theory, as calculated by slide - rule, and as affirmed by paleo - evidence and by sustained observation of global energy imbalance.

In early 2014, Channelkeeper collected a water sample from Butterfly Beach for «Our Radioactive Ocean,» a Woods Hole Institute of Oceanography research project that is monitoring the extent of Fukushima radiation transport.

In humid air, the effect of carbon dioxide on radiation transport is unimportant because the transport of thermal radiation is already blocked by the much larger greenhouse effect of water vapor.

Everyone agrees that the increasing abundance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has two important consequences, first a change in the physics of radiation transport in the atmosphere, and second a change in the biology of plants on the ground and in the ocean.

TonyB, to answer seriously, it would be helpful to know what portions of The 2010 Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion and also Environmental Effects of Ozone Depletion and its Interactions with Climate Change: 2010 Assessment are accessible to your technical understanding, particularly in regard to physical chemistry and the quantum theory of radiation transport.

That's what prompted the researchers to use a multi-scale, multi-physics approach, employing two different codes: ZEUS - MP, which has the radiation transport required to evaporate the halo, and CASTRO, which was developed at Berkeley Lab and has the adaptive mesh refinement needed to resolve the collision of the ejected metal with the halo.

During this phase two aspects of the simulation were discussed: (i) the fundamentals of the Monte Carlo simulation of radiation transport and of the physics of imaging detectors; and (ii) the structure and practical operation of the Monte Carlo codes PENELOPE / penEasy and the MANTIS family of codes.

But it's self - evident that any quantitative physical model of a planetary atmosphere (earth or Jupiter or...) has implemented an radiation transport through the gas and that the chemical composition and density of this gas affects the radiation transport.
