Sentences with phrase «top of the atmosphere»

And so the transmittance of the atmosphere is only one component, and reporting on the change in the «greenhouse» effect — Surface flux less top of atmosphere flux — is more important.

So it is a lie, a deliberate science fraud, that this doesn't get through Top of Atmosphere (TOA).

Radiative physics completely overlooks, and fails to account for, the energy hidden away as potential energy within an atmosphere and which is being constantly recycled so as to affect surface temperature not top of atmosphere temperature.

«Radiative forcing Radiative forcing is the change in the net, downward minus upward, radiative flux (expressed in W m — 2) at the tropopause or top of atmosphere due to a change in an external driver of climate change, such as, for example, a change in the concentration of carbon dioxide or the output of the Sun.»

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

For example, quarterly anomalies for net top of the atmosphere radiation (28) show no statistically measurable change between 2000 and 2008, which is consistent with the lack of a statistically measurable change in our estimate for radiative forcing between 2000 and 2007 (SI Appendix: Section 2.8).

There is a figure in Goody and Yung showing the old Tiros top of atmosphere spectra that confirms the standard picture of radiative transfer.

Paulw — Net forcing changes since the Industrial revolution (about 1.6 W / m ^ 2 in AR4) are not the same thing as the current top of atmosphere radiative imbalance (about 0.5 - 0.6 W / m ^ 2 over the last 30 years based on OHC) as the climate has warmed over that time, and has already reacted to much of that net forcing change.

lmao... top of atmosphere??? you mean where that big glass bowl from Arrhenius» experiments is to be found... lol....

Then, if compositional changes occur, involving changes in the net radiative balance of the entire atmosphere the climate zones will shift as the atmosphere has to work more hard or less hard to maintain top of atmosphere energy balance.

The balance of UWIR and DWIR between surface ad top of atmosphere is restored at every level and the atmosphere is rescued.

The adiabatic process within the AAL involves conversion of KE to PE and back again and at any given moment the surface has KE of 100 % with PE at 0 % and top of atmosphere PE nearly 100 % and KE nearly 0 %.

I am not sure that we really understand the process by which infra - red emitting gases at top of the atmosphere exhaust the heat convected up to that level and contribute to what I call the tropopause «ice - locker» effect.

The ISCCP group produces an independent estimate of the albedo, from performing a full radiative flux calculation that takes into account observations of all radiative forcings and produces top of the atmosphere, surface, and in - atmosphere fluxes (data, figure right).
