remote sensing
Peru indicate decreased upwelling. Sea Surface Temperatures These are measured by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on NOAA polar orbiters. They determine temperatures by sensing infrared radiation coming from the sea surface. Current temperatures are updated for 4-day periods. Phytoplankton Productivity This is measured by the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) on the ...

Methane Menace
Earth's atmosphere has nearly doubled around the globe over the past 200 years. Scientists believe that rising concentrations of this "greenhouse gas," which absorbs and sends infrared radiation to the Earth, are causing changes in the climate and contributing to global warming." Livestock animals naturally produce methane as part of their digestive process, belching it while ...

FMI - Research - Atmosphere - Ozone and UV radiation
UV (ultra-violet, 8 % of the total energy), visible light (39 %) and infrared radiation (53%). Short-wave UV radiation is divided into three parts according to its wavelength (l): UV-C ... outside, like wood and different plastics. It has been estimated that the increase of UV radiation following a depletion of ozone would most seriously damage these materials. The international agreement forbidding ...

Climate change 1
These gasses– water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are the most important– trap infrared radiation reflected off the Earth by the sun’s rays, warming the lower atmosphere (troposphere) and the planet’s surface. Without the greenhouse effect, the earth would be a very different place. The oceans would be ...

Cambridge City Hall Annex
Works Department. Windows: ``low-e'' double-glazed panes in operable windows minimize heat loss and gain, since glazing not only reflects infrared radiation that causes heat gain, but reduces ultraviolet radiation that causes fading of fabrics. ``Intelligent'' lighting: daylight and occupancy sensors minimize electricity demand. Lights automatically adjust artificial light output to daylight ...

Ozone Depletion | Ozone Hole | Ultraviolet Radiation
In order of decreasing energy, the principal forms of radiation are gamma rays, X rays, UV (ultraviolet radiation), visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves. There are three categories of UV ... Spectrum How Harmful is UV? Generally, the shorter the wavelength, the more biologically damaging UV radiation can be if it reaches the Earth in sufficient quantity. UV-A is the least ...
