Beginning in the 1960s, satellite instruments have measured Earth's reflected broadband shortwave radiation and emitted ...

The scalding Texas heat doesn't have to be a downer. Science shows you can bake cookies in a hot car, in three steps.

The estimation of surface longwave radiation is central to understanding the Earth’s energy budget, climate dynamics and numerous surface processes. Modern research has substantially advanced ...

Is it really possible to fry an egg on the sidewalk or bake cookies in your car during the summer in Texas? You can put it to the test using science.

Methane absorbs both longwave and shortwave radiation, with competing effects on climate, a study finds. The gas remains a potent warmer of the planet.

This is seen with their influence on Earth's radiation budget, the balance between incoming shortwave radiation from the Sun and outgoing longwave radiation from Earth.

Yet at night that is released in the form of longwave radiation back into the atmosphere. If there are clouds present, that longwave radiation will stay close to the ground modifying temperatures.

In recent years, Greenland has warmed faster than the global average. A new study identifies clear-sky downwelling longwave radiation -- heat radiated by the atmosphere to the surface -- along ...

A new research investigates the relationship between surface temperature and outgoing longwave radiation. Contrary to expectations based on the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which predicts a quartic ...

Clouds have a complex relationship with radiation. This is seen with their influence on Earth’s radiation budget, the balance between incoming shortwave radiation from the Sun and outgoing longwave ...
