Sentences with phrase «term radiation measurements»

Not exact matches

In the study, long - term historical meteorological data were combined with relatively short measurements of air pollution particles in China in an innovative way to clarify interactions among the solar radiation, surface wind and air pollution.

There appears to be a misunderstanding concerning the difference between the term «solar constant» (Measurement of radiation that travels through space) and the term «solar magnetic field» (A magnetic field is a condition of space.)

«Our results demonstrate how synergistic use of satellite TOA radiation observations and recently improved ocean heat content measurements, with appropriate error estimates, provide critical data for quantifying short - term and longer - term changes in the Earth's net TOA radiation imbalance.

There are no direct measurements of solar radiation on climatological time scales, but a variety of circumstantial evidence suggests that longer - term variations do occur, perhaps with larger amplitudes than those found in the two most recent eleven - year Schwabe cycles.

It also requires the added assumption that long - term changes in solar total radiation can exceed by two and a half times what has been observed in recent measurements from space.

Persistent small climate changes are difficult to detect within the diurnal, regional, and seasonal variance of Earth's reflected (shortwave) and emitted (longwave) energy — hence a continuous long - term (decades) record of Earth's radiation budget (ERB) is needed to identify subtle long - term shifts related to climate change.4 With the demanifesting of TSIS and ERBS from NPOESS, ERB measurements will end with the last CERES on Aqua (or perhaps NPP, pending addition of CERES FM - 5 onto NPP), the TIM record will end with Glory, and the SIM record with SORCE.
