Sentences with phrase «through back radiation»

I have difficulty rationalizing how 2 % of the molecules in the air (H2O and CO2) can heat themselves, the other 98 % of the air molecules, and the earth surface, by 33K only through back radiation of IR.

For example, increased well - mixed CO2 and water vapor decrease the rate of heat loss through back radiation.

Re # 36: «This incoming shortwave is balanced by * net * ocean heat loss through back radiation (41 %)» The key word * net * should have been used.

This incoming shortwave heating is balanced by ocean heat loss through back radiation (41 %), evaporative heat loss (53 %), and heat loss by conduction and convection (6 %).

These low gamma radiation levels are promising, but researchers still have to study other ways people on the islands could absorb radiation — like through their diet — before giving Marshall Islands inhabitants the green light to move back.

Later that day we realized the migraine was in fact a tumor, and he fought through rounds of radiation and chemotherapy to battle back for the last day of school, which was his goal.

They don't have to be scientists to understand that the higher energy waves of visible light from the Sun can penetrate through CO2, H2O, CH4, NOZ etal in the atmosphere, but the lower energy radiation of infra - red waves, from Earth's surface, have problems getting back out through these molecules, and a new energy balance has to be established in the form of rising temperature.

Visible and near - visible radiation from the sun easily gets through, but thermal radiation from the surface can't easily get back out.

I'm a professional infrared astronomer who spent his life trying to observe space through the atmosphere's back - radiation that the environmental activists claim is caused by CO2 and guess what?

This is basically back to classical meteorology before radiation madness struck: sun heats surface, surface looses heat through the atmosphere to space.

The use of dark, nonreflective materials for parking, roofs, walkways, and other surfaces raises ambient temperatures when radiation from the sun is absorbed and transferred through convection and conduction back to surrounding areas.

to reflect near - IR radiation back onto the filament while allowing visible light through, resulting in additional heating of the filament and a concomitant reduction in electrical power (up to 30 %) required to maintain the same filament temperature.

The atmosphere acts like the glass in a greenhouse, allowing much of the shortwave solar radiation to travel through unimpeded, but trapping a lot of the longwave heat energy trying to escape back to space.

If we assume that the back radiation leads indeed to the decrease of the gradient through the upper part of the ocean then we will have the decrease of the flow of heat from the bulk to the surface.

The total radiation leaving one side of the layer is the external radiation reflected back by the interface, radiation emitted internally by the layer and transmitted through the interface, radiation scattered by sites inside the layer and transmitted through the interface, and radiation transmitted through the layer from the surroundings on the opposite side.

Likewise, the emission of CO2 within its absorption bands is just as effective as its interception, therefore this energy is partitioned throughout the atmosphere and radiated back to earth in its majority (because the escape of energy through the optically thick higher levels of the atmosphere reduces the flux, whereas the earth is still optically close by and a ready recipient of IR radiation.

One suggestion he came up with was that the energy coming in from the sun in the form of visible and ultra-violet light (known back then as «luminous heat») was easily able to pass through Earth's atmosphere and heat up the planet's surface, but that the «non-luminous heat» (now known as infra - red radiation) then emitted by the Earth's surface could not make it back in the opposite direction quite so readily.
