Sentences with phrase «via radiation»

Understanding how the earth and atmosphere cool to space via radiation is a critical component in understanding surface temperature changes.

Energy flow away from the earth can, indeed, only be done via radiation.

Although I am no expert in the area, I saw that his approach was new, and seemed an ingenious new way of analyzing heat flow via radiation from the surface of the Earth through the atmosphere.

If the upper troposphere cools only by radiation (with probably some convection across the tropopause), but the surface transfers energy to the upper troposphere via radiation, convection, and evapotranspiration, why would the concurrent CO2 - induced warming be uniform?

The very gory details are below, but at room temperature, it's about 60 nanometers; leading to excited molecules rapidly transfering their energy to less - excited molecule via collisions, not via radiation of photons.

Robert Brown says «and a GHE, the upper troposphere cools via radiation.

With the current GHG content in the atmosphere, more solar energy arrives than leaves via radiation -LRB-.85 + / -.15 Watt / m ^ 2), which raises the heat content of the terrestrial system, i.e., the average temperature over the whole earth + oceans + atmosphere.

The molecules of CO2 become excited, and can lose this excitation energy via radiation of slightly longer wavelength IR in all directions, or by colliding with other molecules.

Electromagnetic Chatter Single - celled organisms may communicate via radiation.

From about 0.7 solar radii to the Sun's visible surface, the material in the Sun is not dense enough or hot enough to transfer the heat energy of the interior outward via radiation.

The only way heat can escape to space is via radiation because space is a void and therefore heat can not be transmitted by convection or conduction.

14), addresses the mechanisms of atmospheric heat transfer not only via radiation but also by convection, which is not mentioned once in the IPCC's scientific reports (Ref.

I accept the idea that for a system surrounded by a vacuum when radiation - rate - equilibrium is reached, the amount of energy per unit time leaving a system via radiation is equal to the amount of energy per unit time entering the system.

The added IR which reaches the surface will warm it (See Roy Spencer's site if you're one of those who don't think a colder body [atmosphere] can warm a hotter body [the surface] via radiation) and this is the raw material of the climate change theory.

And, therefore, energy exchanged between the surface and the atmosphere via radiation is not proven to be equal.

That said, I want to pursue the question: If the upper troposphere cools only by radiation, but the surface transfers energy to the upper troposphere via radiation, convection, and evapotranspiration, why would the concurrent CO2 - induced warming be uniform?

The team has developed a unified framework that calculates heat transport at finite gaps, and has shown that heat flow at sub-nanometer distances occurs not via radiation or conduction, but through «phonon tunneling.»

The only way the Earth can lose heat to space is via radiation, but the redistribution of heat within the oceans, atmosphere and ice sheets can occur via conduction, convetion and radiation.

The earth then, receives energy via radiation from a heat source but dissipates it via radiation, conduction and convection (gas and hydrological process for the latter two mediums).

Is the athmospheric green house effect responsible for losing less energy to space (via radiation) as would otherwise be the case?

That isn't to say that air masses downwind of a city may not directly carry some heat with them, although most heat transfer is via radiation.
