greenhouse effect

Using a recently developed saturation-level concept, we demonstrate that the signs of the greenhouse effect and radiative forcing are fundamentally dependent on vertical absorptivity and temperature profiles and will thus vary with wave number as well as seasonally.

Sometimes, the emitted energy continues out into space; other times, it returns to the surface, creating warming called the greenhouse effect.

Research shows that students commonly merge features of the greenhouse effect with those of the ozone layer (Boon, 2009; Gautier, Deutsch & Rebich, 2006; Hansen, 2010; Kilinc, Stanisstreet & Boyes, 2008; Lambert, Lindgren & Bleicher, 2012; Punter, Ochando-Pardo & Garcia, 2011).

Since a weaker sun won't save us, it looks like we're on our own when it comes to finding a way to blunt the greenhouse effect.

They found that without the sustaining support of these gases, the greenhouse effect rapidly collapsed as water vapour precipitated out of the atmosphere, and the Earth became icebound.

In other words, the countries of the world are still in dire need of the energy of oil and fuels that cause the greenhouse effect, as well as of grazing lands and agricultural land that do away with the forests that cleanse greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2).

Without the greenhouse effect, the earth would be a dead, frozen world.

Transferring carbon from atmospheric carbon dioxide into the soil, not only reduces the greenhouse effect, but increases the fertility of the soil.

Because they behave like the panes in a greenhouse, they are called greenhouse gases, and their influence on Earth's temperature is called the greenhouse effect.

In 1976, he was serving as a principal investigator on the Pioneer Venus Orbiter when a Harvard postdoctoral researcher asked him to help calculate the greenhouse effect of human-generated emissions on the Earth's atmosphere.

As a result, the process driving variation in carbon dioxide, whether it be ventilation of the ocean or iron fertilization by windblown dust, causes changes in concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide that then becomes an important control on global temperature through the greenhouse effect.

So while the greenhouse effect has been warming the planet, global dimming has cooled it a bit, which means that global warming is occurring faster than anyone realized.

Clearing the rainforests of Brazil would ease the greenhouse effect.

Fossil formation, evolution, the greenhouse effect, glaciers, weather, earthquakes, magnetism, vast oceanic mountain ranges and more are clearly explained.

Keeping food cold but easily accessible is a resource-intensive undertaking, involving electricity, compressor motors, and insulation, as well as gases such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons, which contribute to ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect.
