Sentences with word «reradiation»

Further, the change in radiation balance is huge, some order of magnitude larger than what can be calculated from the theoretical increase in LW reradiation by the increase of GHGs in the same time frame.

For instance, the reradiation of IR from GHGs» in the atmosphere back to the surface heats the surface; because of the density gradient in the atmosphere, and the lapse rate effect on water vapor, most of the action takes place near the surface, If the surface warms by 1 degree, then a constant adiabatic lapse rate would mean every altitude would warm by 1 degree.
