Sentences with phrase «sky conditions during»

Not exact matches

During that interval, the PDO turned strongly negative, and in addition, anthropogenic aerosols reduced the transmittance of solar radiation to the surface as measured under both clear sky and all sky conditions.

This has been documented by the data of Martin Wild and others demonstrating a reduction in «solar surface radiation» during that interval — i.e, a reduction in that fraction of sunlight incident on the TOA that reached the surface under both clear sky and all - sky conditions.

So, the 729.9 W / m ^ 2 shown during the hours just before and after noon on a dry clear - sky day should be reading somewhat below 729.9 / (1 — 0.313) or less than 1062 W / m ^ 2 by measurement, near noon, on the equator, for the atmosphere itself, in those conditions, would not be absorbing as much direct solar radiation as the average shows in column C either (no clouds).
