Sentences with phrase «visible radiation increases»

Recent satellite data have revealed, however, that there seems to be a surprising spectral component to solar variability, at least in the declining phase of the current solar cycle: UV radiation decreases strongly while visible radiation increases.

Haigh's measurements showed that visible radiation increased between 2004 and 2007, when it was expected to decrease, and ultraviolet radiation dropped four times as much as predicted.

Not exact matches

«The amount of visible radiation entering the lower atmosphere was increasing, which implies warming at the surface,» says atmospheric physicist Joanna Haigh of Imperial College London, who led the research, published in Nature on October 7.

The different parts of the spectrum, or spectral bands, are, in order of decreasing wavelength and increasing frequency: radio waves (including microwaves and (sub) millimetre radiation), infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.

The solar radiation «envelope» penetrates the ocean to 100 metres at visible wavelengths but to much shallower depths as the wavelength increases.

Seen on a graph, total visible and infrared radiation increases just before a sunspot appears, dips slightly for several days as it crosses the surface, then increases again as it disappears.

IF ongoing planetary heating from CO2 back - radiation is continuing but being hidden a-la-Trenberth in the oceans, then this ocean heat would be visible as an increase in sea level rise.

This reduction was partially compensated in the total solar output by an increase in radiation at visible wavelengths.
