Sentences with phrase «wave radiation from the sun»

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 term in use in Callendar's day was «sky radiation,» defined as «The downward radiation from the sky, excluding the direct and scattered short wave radiation from the sun.»

Not exact matches

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 stratosphere absorbs short wave (UV) radiation from the sun but is not hot enough to radiate much at short wavelengths.

Because the wavelength of emitted EM radiation varies with the temperature of the source, it does so in the form of longer - wave IR than that received from the Sun — the Earth's surface is significantly cooler than that of the Sun.

To a good approximation, the Earth gets all its energy from the sun in the form of short - wave solar radiation (sun light).

In the longer term, the study shows thar the earth begins to absorb more shortwave radiation — the high energy waves coming directly from the sun».

It takes the bigger real heat energy to do this, and that transferred by radiation from the Sun is the longwave infrared waves of thermal infrared.

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.

GHGs typically don't interfere w / short - wave incoming radiation from the sun.

The Sun's radiation transports, or emits, short - wave electro - magnetic radiation away and thus avoids «a big bang» --(There may also be back radiation from planets etc. provided the radiative forces are strong enough to reach the Sun) On a smaller scale the same «Energy Transport System» or radiative principles work here on Earth too.

Energy is received by the Earth's surface directly from the sun and also via long - wave radiation from the atmosphere.

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.

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.

Unless you can prove NASA wrong, your energy premise is wrong and what follows from that premise will be out of context of the Real World energy balance which is by Thermal radiation from the Sun, these Thermal energies which are the Heat energies which are long wave IR.
