Sentences with phrase «surface at different wavelengths»

I understand the superficial attractiveness behind the proposition that the atmoshpere contains some gases that are largely transparent to incoming solar radiation and therefore the majority of this solar radiation finds its way through the atmosphere to the surface whereupon it heats the surface and this heat is, inter alia, radiated from the surface at a different wavelength at which wavelength the atmosphere (or some gases within the atmosphere) is not transparent such that some of this radiated enerrgy is «trapped» thereby effectively warming the planet.

Not exact matches

Besides, different surfaces radiate different amounts of heat at infrared wavelengths owing to a material characteristic known as emissivity.

Re my 441 — competing bands — To clarify, the absorption of each band adds to a warming effect of the surface + troposphere; given those temperatures, there are different equilibrium profiles of the stratosphere (and different radiative heating and cooling rates in the troposphere, etc.) for different amounts of absorption at different wavelengths; the bands with absorption «pull» on the temperature profile toward their equilibria; disequilibrium at individual bands is balanced over the whole spectrum (with zero net LW cooling, or net LW cooling that balances convective and solar heating).

1) Can the IR radiated by CO2 to the surface of the ocean that is captured as latent heat and transferred to the TOA via evaporation, be released at different wavelengths??

So I am totally deaf to «lab experiments» where CO2 gas mixtures are subjected to radiation sources that are ten times the real earth ambient source Temperature, and therefore 10,000 times as bright as the earth surface, and emitting a completely different spectrum at one tenth of the real LWIR wavelengths, which have completely different interactions with the CO2.

These sea surface expressions of the internal tide at different wavelengths can be detected with the Topex / Poseidon or Jason - 1 satellites (Fig. 2).

The graph shows different wavelengths of energy, measured at the Earth's surface.

In reality, each wavelength of IR emission has a different altitude which is up in the stratosphere for some where GHGs have strong lines, and down at the surface for others in the «window» region.

Both, however, are efficient at intercepting outgoing infrared radiation from the Earth's surface and atmosphere The disparity is due to the different wavelengths of incoming solar energy and outgoing infrared energy.

It reaches its surface temperature of 740 K by using only trace amounts of carbon monoxide (a strongly absorbing greenhouse despite being diatomic, but at different wavelengths from CO2) and sulfur dioxide.
