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.

Overall, BMKG reports potential significant cloud growth across Indonesia over the next week. As mentioned in the Weekly ...

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.

With no solar rays to reflect, they trap long-wave radiation emitted by the ice and ocean below and reradiate it downward, warming the surface. “However, how well these mixed-phase clouds trap heat ...

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 ...

When scientists discuss white surfaces like sea ice and snow reflecting solar energy, they are talking about short-wave radiation. By contrast, the Earth’s surface—its ice, snow, and land—emit ...

Exposing blue zircon to long-wave ultraviolet (LWUV) radiation introduces a brown coloration, resulting in a somewhat unattractive, much less valuable gemstone. Common sources of accidental long-wave ...

Subtracting the background day’s longwave radiation values from the nighttime terrestrial longwave radiation values for the period spanning May 14th to 25th, 2021, within the specified spatial bounds ...
