Not exact matches

``... being considered by the US Air Force and the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency,... using very low frequency radio waves to flush particles from [the Van Allen radiation] belts and dump them into the upper atmosphere over either one or several days.

According to a 2010 study from the Swedish Institute of Space Physics and the University of Leicester, double solar radiation waves periodically strip away 30 percent of the sparse Martian atmosphere.

They don't have to be scientists to understand that the higher energy waves of visible light from the Sun can penetrate through CO2, H2O, CH4, NOZ etal in the atmosphere, but the lower energy radiation of infra - red waves, from Earth's surface, have problems getting back out through these molecules, and a new energy balance has to be established in the form of rising temperature.

The fact that there is a natural greenhouse effect (that the atmosphere restricts the passage of long wave (LW) radiation from the Earth's surface to space) is easily deducible from i) the mean temperature of the surface (around 15ºC) and ii) knowing that the planet is roughly in radiative equilibrium.

``... being considered by the US Air Force and the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency,... using very low frequency radio waves to flush particles from [the Van Allen radiation] belts and dump them into the upper atmosphere over either one or several days.

... the long wave infrared radiation from the atmosphere has a lot to low energy (wavelength) one is not deeper than a fraction of a millimeter (10 micrometers).

Downward long - wave or infrared radiation from the atmosphere to the surface is a vital component to warming the Earth's surface.

This quantity represents the difference in the intensity of the long - and short - wave infrared radiation at these two wavelengths that travels upward from the atmosphere to the satellite, and it is traditionally used to differentiate between water and ice clouds.

As long as the outgoing longwave radiation is n`t decreasing over the Top Of Atmosphere, all the heat uptake comes from the change of short wave radiation.

He uses Kirchhoff's law and the two energy balances (ground to lower atmosphere, upper atmosphere to space) to derive the result: The long wave upward radiation from the surface is limited to 1.5 times the short wave downward radiation from the Sun.

The internal kinetic energy is taken as the upward long wave energy flux at the top of the atmosphere, and the potential energy is the upward radiation flux from the surface.

As you are above the low altitude clouds and a good deal of the atmosphere there, I'd expect incoming solar radiation (however the sensor is shielded) and reflected short wave from lower clouds to cause a warm bias if anything.

The downwelling longwave radiation from the atmosphere is not some theory that you can wave off with your own theory.

In that thread, I posted a comment with an analogy of truckloads of orange juice, representing short - wave radiation from Sun to Earth, and truckloads of blueberry juice, representing longwave radiation between Earth and the Atmosphere and back out to Space.

The heating of the atmosphere by the trapping of long - wave radiation re-emitted by the Earth from incoming solar energy.

«The Planck feedback parameter [equivalent to κ — 1] is negative (an increase in temperature enhances the long - wave emission to space and thus reduces R [the Earth's radiation budget]-RRB-, and its typical value for the earth's atmosphere, estimated from GCM calculations (Colman 2003; Soden and Held 2006), is ~ 3.2 W m2ºK — 1 (a value of ~ 3.8 W m2ºK — 1 is obtained by defining [κ — 1] simply as 4σT3, by equating the global mean outgoing long - wave radiation to σT4 and by assuming an emission temperature of 255 ºK).»

13) No partitioning of energies into long wave radiation (from the atmosphere) and short wave (from the sun), ensuring that no conclusions can be drawn about where the power fluxes measured are coming from.

Such an increase is seen in the reanalyses, and the outgoing long - wave radiation has become more diffuse over time, consistent with an increased influence of greenhouse gases on the vertical energy flow from the surface to the top of the atmosphere.

The CO2 molecules allow the shorter - wavelength rays from the Sun to enter the atmosphere and strike the Earth's surface, but they do not allow much of the long - wave radiation reradiated from the surface to escape into space.

I never see Rayleigh or Mie scattering mentioned, although it is my understanding that, in the atmosphere these equations govern the absorpsion and scattering of electomagnetic radiation from the sun, and the «long wave» radiation of the earth back to space.
