Sentences with phrase «radiative exchange only»

If the same temp, why are you assuming that radiative exchange only occurs with the VERY near surface air?

Not exact matches

The example is not meant to be an example of only one half of a radiative energy exchange.

Web said,» There only way that the earth can exchange energy with the external system is through radiative energy transfer.»

It is not «conduction» but exchange of radiation; if you keep your hands parallel at a distance of some cm the right hand does not (radiatively) «warm» the left hand or vice versa albeit at 33 °C skin temperature they exchange some hundreds of W / m ² (about 500 W / m ²) The solar radiation reaching the surface (for 71 % of the surface, the oceans) is lost by evaporation (or evapotranspiration of the vegetation), plus some convection (20 W / ²) and some radiation reaching the cosmos directly through the window 8µm to 12 µm (about 20 W / m ² «global» average); only the radiative heat flow surface to air (absorbed by the air) is negligible (plus or minus); the non radiative (latent heat, sensible heat) are transferred for surface to air and compensate for a part of the heat lost to the cosmos by the upper layer of the water vapour displayed on figure 6 - C.

Radiative equilibrium implies that temperatures have reached equilibrium via exchange of radiation only.
