Sentences with phrase «reflect infrared radiation»

As to the effect mentioned in your comment, as I understand it, cumulus clouds reflect infrared radiation back into space while cirrus clouds catch infrared radiation leaving earth and reflect it back to earth.

A special, highly innovative type of leather on the seats, interior panels, and steering wheel that significantly reduces the heat effect of bright sunshine: Treatment of the leather in Sun Reflective Technology serves to integrate special color pigments into the material to reflect infrared radiation in the sunlight.

However, gas leaks reflect infrared radiation, and utilizing specially designed cameras, we have the ability to scan multiple potential sources of leaks in the oil and gas system rapidly.

They also reflect infrared radiation, more commonly known as heat, back toward us.

It is made of a material with a mirror finish because that material reflects infrared radiation from your body back at your body and thus keeps you warmer than the same blanket made of non-reflective material.

Not exact matches

The impact of grain size on albedo — the ratio between reflected and incoming solar radiation — is strong in the infrared range, where humans can't see, but satellite instruments can detect the change.

On the Earth, red - edge appears between red and infrared (IR) wavelengths, since red - light is absorbed for photosynthesis while IR radiation is reflected.

To a much lesser extent, aerosols also absorb infrared radiation reflected back from the ground.

He explained that most food in its raw state doesn't absorb infrared radiation — that 90 % of it is reflected.

Direct imaging can be done by using starlight reflected off the planet or thermal infrared radiation emitted by the planet.

The rest reaches the planet's surface and is reflected upward again as a type of slow - moving energy called infrared radiation.

Because the climate system derives virtually all its energy from the Sun, zero balance implies that, globally, the amount of incoming solar radiation on average must be equal to the sum of the outgoing reflected solar radiation and the outgoing thermal infrared radiation emitted by the climate system.

The longer wavelength (infrared) radiation created there is reflected upwards, and then is absorbed by clouds and the greenhouse gases (GHGs include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), etc.).

This matters because clouds are fundamental regulators of how much solar radiation makes it to the Earth's surface (rather than being reflected back to space by white cloud tops), and how much infrared or «longwave» radiation escapes back to space once again.

The various lines reflect the multitude of quantum transitions that CO2 can undergo from absorbed infrared (IR) radiation, due to its vibrational mode and superimposed rotational modes that are generated by the transient dipole moment CO2 undergoes from its vibrational excitation.

Some of this energy is reflected back towards space as infrared radiation.

(The role of clouds in reflecting the thermal (infrared) radiation back to Earth's surface has generally been neglected.)

In addition to this absorption and re-radiation of infrared radiation from the Earth's surface they may simply reflect it back to the surface.

Then, for the benefit of the lay reader, who would not be expected to understand the clear (to a competent physical scientist) implication of this simply - stated fact, I wrote: «This in fact indicates that the Venusian atmosphere is heated mainly by incident infrared [not the VISIBLE portion, which is indeed largely reflected, defenders, but INFRARED] radiation from the Sun, WHICH IS NOT REFLECTED BUT ABSORBED [or allowed in to heat the lower atmosphere] by Venus's clouds, rather than by warming first of the planetary infrared [not the VISIBLE portion, which is indeed largely reflected, defenders, but INFRARED] radiation from the Sun, WHICH IS NOT REFLECTED BUT ABSORBED [or allowed in to heat the lower atmosphere] by Venus's clouds, rather than by warming first of the planetaryreflected, defenders, but INFRARED] radiation from the Sun, WHICH IS NOT REFLECTED BUT ABSORBED [or allowed in to heat the lower atmosphere] by Venus's clouds, rather than by warming first of the planetary INFRARED] radiation from the Sun, WHICH IS NOT REFLECTED BUT ABSORBED [or allowed in to heat the lower atmosphere] by Venus's clouds, rather than by warming first of the planetaryREFLECTED BUT ABSORBED [or allowed in to heat the lower atmosphere] by Venus's clouds, rather than by warming first of the planetary surface.

«This H2O negative - feedback effect on CO2 is ignored in models that assume that warm moist air does not rise and form sunlight - reflecting clouds, but remains as humid air near sea level, absorbing infrared radiation from the sun, and approximately doubling the temperature rises predicted from atmospheric CO2 increases.

Fourier understood that solar energy heated the Earth, which then reflected that heat back into space in the form of infrared radiation.

CO; 2 Observations of the Infrared Radiative Properties of the Ocean «[I] t is necessary to understand the physical variables contributing to sea surface emitted and reflected radiation to space.The emissivity of the ocean surface varies with view angle and sea state, the reflection of sky radiation also depends on view angle and sea state, and the absorption of atmospheric constituents such as water vapor, aerosols, and subdivisible clouds affect transmittance.»

We retrieve CO2 only over land due to the low reflectivity of water in the near - infrared spectral region used to retrieve CO2 information from the satellite spectra of reflected solar radiation.

The evidence here comes from satellite measurements of infrared radiation escaping from the earth into outer space, from measurements of sunlight reflected from clouds and from measurements of the temperature the earth's surface or of the troposphere, the roughly 10 km thick layer of the atmosphere above the earth's surface that is filled with churning air and clouds, heated from below at the earth's surface, and cooled at the top by radiation into space.

There is an infrared component of incoming solar radiation that is not only reflected, but also absorbed by CO2 and other molecules, and then reradiated as lower energy radiation.

Contrary to what many people believe, the infrared record in a photograph is not a measure of ambient temperature variation — it is a record of the amount of near infrared radiation reflected or transmitted by the subject.
