Sentences with phrase «total radiation to space»
42, Steve Fish: The illustration clearly shows that thermals and evapotranspiration account for a total of 97 watts per square meter delivered to the atmosphere for re-radiation to space, while total radiation to space is 341 watts per square meter.

i) The total exchange of radiation between Space and the TOA and between surface and the TOA is sufficiently large that an increase in the radiative capabilities of an atmospheric constituent that amounts to 0.04 % of the atmosphere would appear unlikely to have any significant effect.
Each higher and cooler layer in turn emits thermal radiation corresponding to its temperature; and much of that also escapes directly to space around the absorption bands of the higher atmosphere layers; and so on; so that the total LWIR emission from the earth should then be a composite of roughly BB spectra but with source temepratures ranging ove the entire surface Temeprature range, as well as the range of atmospheric emitting Temperatures.
Thus, long - term variations of TSI (with account for their direct and secondary, based on feedback effects, influence) are the main fundamental cause of climate changes since variations of the Earth climate is mainly determined by a long - term imbalance between the energy of solar radiation entering the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere and the total energy emitted from the Earth back to space.»
The shell will still have to emit the total radiation of the planet to space, but the planet will not be warmed as much by the radiation of the shell.
3) The TOA energy imbalance equals on average total forcing from all factors since 1750 (by convention) minus the increase radiation to space due to increased surface temperature.
The dominant condition is that the total radiation directly from earth surface and lowest troposphere to the space has to remain unchanged.
Meanwhile, he continued, higher cloud tops in effect thicken the total column of cloud, and that means more trapping of infrared or heat radiation that would otherwise exit to space.
