Sentences with phrase «thermal radiation losses»

Not exact matches

When greenhouse gases increase, more longwave radiation is directed back at the ocean surface, which warms the cool - skin layer, lowers the thermal gradient, and consequently reduces the rate of heat loss.

Greenhouse gases absorb thermal radiation from the surface and slow radiative loss to space.

While Earth's surface absorbs a significant amount of thermal radiation because of the blanketing effect of the atmosphere, it loses even more through its own emission and thus experiences a net loss of long - wave radiation.

We hqppen to have such a star that delivers EM energy to the bottom of the transparent atmosphere, and that energy warms the bottom of the atmosphere by all the well known thermal processes, until the energy loss rate, eventually limited by radiation, matches the supply rate from the star.

Heating of Earth's surface by sunlight and thermal infrared radiation must be offset by energy losses to maintain a stable temperature.

An aside: one of the reasons that clouds modulate temperature so effectively is not just the albedo increase which bounces downwelling short wave radiation back into space, but because they radiate IR back to the surface thus reducing the net rate of thermal radiative loss.»

An aside: one of the reasons that clouds modulate temperature so effectively is not just the albedo increase which bounces dowelling short wave radiation back into space, but because they radiate IR back to the surface thus reducing the net rate of thermal radiative loss.

Verticle wind shear correlates well with temperature so as temperature increases you can expect more thermal losses across the tropopause which will reduce the increase in radiation reflected back to the surface which should reduce the expected surface temperature increase.
