Sentences with phrase «top of atmosphere radiant»

It should however prompt a fundamental rethink of top of atmosphere radiant flux.

Greenhouse gas forcing can not be seen in top of atmosphere radiant flux.

Not exact matches

According to satellite observations there is always a net balance over time between radiant energy coming in and radiant energy going out from the top of the atmosphere.

That must be so because the Earth (at the top of the atmosphere) quickly arrives at a thermal equilibrium by virtue of the fact that radiant energy coming in and radiant energy going out both travel at the speed of light.

Once the appropriate planetary temperature increase has been set by the delay in transmission through the atmosphere then equilibrium is restored between radiant energy in and radiant energy out at the top of the atmosphere.

When clouds condense back to water they give up the Latent Heat of Vaporisation at that altitude and the radiant energy is closer to top of atmosphere to pass to that great heat sink in the sky: Space.

At the top of the atmosphere it seems to hold, since that is radiant transfer, but as you descend in to the thermodynamic onion it gets difficult to justify.

Of the radiant energy reaching the top of the atmosphere, 46 percent is absorbed by Earth's surface on average, but this value varies significantly from place to place, depending on cloudiness, surface type, and elevatioOf the radiant energy reaching the top of the atmosphere, 46 percent is absorbed by Earth's surface on average, but this value varies significantly from place to place, depending on cloudiness, surface type, and elevatioof the atmosphere, 46 percent is absorbed by Earth's surface on average, but this value varies significantly from place to place, depending on cloudiness, surface type, and elevation.

Cloud and Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) instruments aboard NASA satellites measure incoming and outgoing radiant power at the top of the atmoRadiant Energy System (CERES) instruments aboard NASA satellites measure incoming and outgoing radiant power at the top of the atmoradiant power at the top of the atmosphere.

The total solar radiant energy flux incident upon the top of the Earth's atmosphere at a standard distance (1 astronomical unit, 1.496 × 108 km or 9.3 × 107 mi) from the Sun.

And just like in our atmosphere, «Radiant barrier fanatics have also experimented with horizontal radiant barriers on the top side of attic floor insuRadiant barrier fanatics have also experimented with horizontal radiant barriers on the top side of attic floor insuradiant barriers on the top side of attic floor insulation.

The top of the atmosphere fluxes have been measured by the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) satellites from 1985 to 1999 and the Cloud and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) satellites from March 2000 to the present.

The observations showed that when the usual shallow cumulus clouds give way to the MJO's towering cumulonimbus storms, radiant heat trapped by clouds and moisture gradually warms a deeper column of the lower atmosphere while the tops of the storms radiate heat into space, cooling the upper troposphere.

Radiant energy accounts for all of the outbound energy at the top of atmosphere, but only a fraction of the energy transfer at the surface.
