Sentences with phrase «slow radiative cooling»

(2) Back radiation can only slow radiative cooling back to the atmosphere.

But anyway, we know none of the back radiation penetrates more than about 10 microns (because it is actually pseudo scattered and only slows radiative cooling) so to what temperature can the Sun's radiation warm that 20 metres of the ocean?

Not exact matches

The optical properties of these gases — not their weight — are critical to slowing down this radiative cooling.

I made the same argument on the slowing of the tropical mass circulation in a warmer climate, based on Betts and Ridgway (JAS1989) and the difference of the slopes of the Clausius - Clapyron and the radiative cooling

warrenlb, nothing at that site supports your denial of the S - B basis of climate alarm, supports your neglect of the significance of rapid collisional vs. slow radiative decay of CO2 * in the troposphere, or supports your dismissal of CO2 * radiative decay as the source of stratospheric cooling.

The role of radiative gases in atmospheric cooling and tropospheric convective circulation far out weighs their role is slowing the cooling of the land surface.

Can radiative gases emit IR to the surface (land only) and slow it's cooling rate?

If look look back over my comments on this thread, you will note that I repeatedly state that radiative gases can slow the cooling of land surface and by intercepting surface IR they can heat gases in the lower troposphere.

The latest catchphrase is that GHGs «slow down» the radiative heat loss by «scattering» a portion — some say half — and therefore the Earth's surfaces do not cool down as much as they would during the night as they would with less GHGs.

1) Mr Squid says the atmosphere in the dark side slows the rate of cooling and not through a radiative process.

While the atmosphere on the «dark» side does indeed slow the rate of cooling, it doesn't do so through it's radiative processes.

The upward motion is confined to such a small area, and the subsidence so slow, that one can not ignore the radiative cooling in the subsiding air.
