Download or read book Radiation and Water in the Climate System written by Ehrhard Raschke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the earth's climate requires reliable global data sets to validate numerical simulation models and to identify regional and global fluctuations and trends. This book presents ways to obtain such data from space-borne and ground-based measurements, both passive and active, over the entire electromagnetic spectrum. It describes the basics of such methods together with the most recent advancements and spans the field from clouds and the planetary radiation budget to surface processes and ocean properties. Each subject is backed by extensive reference lists to enable readers to probe more deeply.
Download or read book Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Radiative Heat Exchange in the Surface Layers Above Seas and Oceans written by V. S. Samoilenko and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the purpose of the present paper to familiarize the reader with certain results of experimental measurements of the radiation balance and atmospheric emission at various altitudes above sea level, these measurements having been carried out in the Black Sea in 1961 and 1962. These measurements were undertaken to verify preliminary theoretical calculations based on the prevailing scientific conceptions of the emittance and absorptance of the basic substances within the composition of atmospheric air above seas and oceans. With regard to water vapor, this test was extremely necessary, since the contentions on which the calculations of the balance of the longwave infrared emission of the earth and of the atmosphere are based have been taken up to the present time primarily from laboratory rather than from natural studies. However, the natural investigations of these water-vapor absorption spectra in the region of atmospheric emission are carried out extremely infrequently because of the complexity involved. It is for this reason that the numerical values of the absorption coefficients derived from the laboratory studies are not sufficiently accurate. (Author).

This book was released on 1965 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar radiation intensities, incident to the sea surface off the Oregon coast, are measured and compared. Simplification of some physical and biological problems can be anticipated if the average radiation received over a broad segment of ocean can be accurately indicated by the amount recorded at the land station. The area of ocean over which the study was made extends the length of the Oregon coast and 165 miles to sea. The measurements were made during the months of June, July, August, and September 1963 with an Eppley total radiation pyrheliometer. A division of the study area into Newport and three zones parallel to the coast separated the data into comparative groups. Clear sky radiation values, assumed constant with longitude, are used as bases for comparison. For each value of observed radiation, a corresponding clear sky value was calculated using standard techniques. Curves, based on a dust-free atmosphere with two cm of precipitable water, are developed to provide these calculated values. Before the recorded values from the zones are compared, their corresponding calculated spectra are adjusted to be identical. This is done by weighting the number of observations in each classification. In all instances, the zone values are adjusted to those of Newport. Comparison is made between mean intensity values, percentages of calculated clear sky values, relative and cumulative frequencies of intensities, and composites of daily traces. Two methods of analysis are employed. One classifies data by intensity level, and the other classifies it by the hour of the day during which it was recorded. Not enough observations were available in the two zones farthest from Newport to provide smooth curves. It is found, however, that there is essentially no change with longitude in observed intensity spectra and means. It is concluded that the average radiation recorded at Newport indicates with some accuracy the average radiation received over the section of ocean in question.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Snow Ice and Glaciers written by Vijay P. Singh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-29 with total page 1301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earth’s cryosphere, which includes snow, glaciers, ice caps, ice sheets, ice shelves, sea ice, river and lake ice, and permafrost, contains about 75% of the earth’s fresh water. It exists at almost all latitudes, from the tropics to the poles, and plays a vital role in controlling the global climate system. It also provides direct visible evidence of the effect of climate change, and, therefore, requires proper understanding of its complex dynamics. This encyclopedia mainly focuses on the various aspects of snow, ice and glaciers, but also covers other cryospheric branches, and provides up-to-date information and basic concepts on relevant topics. It includes alphabetically arranged and professionally written, comprehensive and authoritative academic articles by well-known international experts in individual fields. The encyclopedia contains a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from the atmospheric processes responsible for snow formation; transformation of snow to ice and changes in their properties; classification of ice and glaciers and their worldwide distribution; glaciation and ice ages; glacier dynamics; glacier surface and subsurface characteristics; geomorphic processes and landscape formation; hydrology and sedimentary systems; permafrost degradation; hazards caused by cryospheric changes; and trends of glacier retreat on the global scale along with the impact of climate change. This book can serve as a source of reference at the undergraduate and graduate level and help to better understand snow, ice and glaciers. It will also be an indispensable tool containing specialized literature for geologists, geographers, climatologists, hydrologists, and water resources engineers; as well as for those who are engaged in the practice of agricultural and civil engineering, earth sciences, environmental sciences and engineering, ecosystem management, and other relevant subjects.
