Sentences with phrase «radiative energy loss»

In plasma emission spectroscopy, LTE doesn't exist, radiative energy loss is quite large, for example, and different methods of measuring temperature give different results.

So there's two things: 1) the atmosphere is 10,000 kg for every square meter, and it cools in the normal way given its radiative energy loss out to space.

The greater height of GHGs would therefore facilitate extra radiative energy loss to space.

Similarly, the cross-equatorial energy flux (~ -0.2 PW) represents a small residual imbalance between the two hemispheres which each have, for example, shortwave radiative energy gains and longwave radiative energy losses of tens of PW.

Not exact matches

Since OHC uptake efficiency associated with surface warming is low compared with the rate of radiative restoring (increase in energy loss to space as specified by the climate feedback parameter), an important internal contribution must lead to a loss rather than a gain of ocean heat; thus the observation of OHC increase requires a dominant role for external forcing.

Earth's energy balance In response to a positive radiative forcing F (see Appendix A), such as characterizes the present - day anthropogenic perturbation (Forsteret al., 2007), the planet must increase its net energy loss to space in order to re-establish energy balance (with net energy loss being the difference between the outgoing long - wave (LW) radiation and net incoming shortwave (SW) radiation at the top - of - atmosphere (TOA)-RRB-.

This heat, energy if you like, will be lost to outer space, adding to the radiative loss, and exceeding it by factors.

Hence, planets tend to gain or lose energy to space in the form of photons, and we often refer to the energy loss as «radiative heat loss».

It should not be so hard to accept that doubling the concentration of a gas that interacts with earth's radiative output (which is orders of magnitude larger than any other energy loss), over time and with feedbacks included, can change change the surface temperature by about 1 %.

Conversely a La Nina reduces the radiative loss of energy of the ocean, increasing OHC relative to neutral periods.

Energy loss at altitude only occurs through IR radiation to space from radiative gases, mainly H2O.

Konrad says: April 18, 2013 at 8:04 pm Radiative cooling at altitude is critical for continued convective circulation... Energy loss at altitude is just as important for convective circulation as energy input near the suEnergy loss at altitude is just as important for convective circulation as energy input near the suenergy input near the surface.

It is my understanding that radiative gases provide an additional radiative route for energy loss to space that non radiative gases fail to provide.

It is not just a «delay»; the greenhouse effect reduces the rate of energy loss out into space (for a fixed surface temperature), requiring a higher average surface temperature to restore radiative balance.

It seems to me that so far, having determined that radiative energy can slow the heat loss from the surface, the questions which remain unresolved are:

«the greenhouse effect reduces the rate of energy loss out into space (for a fixed surface temperature), requiring a higher average surface temperature to restore radiative balance.»

I was simply pointing out that the use of radiative insulation to lessen thermal energy losses to a cold ambient, and therefore permit higher temperatures from a given energy input, is an everyday proven technology.
