Climate or Weather?
The difference between weather and climate.
What is that weather is a short term change in the environment, while climate is over the course of decades to centuries?
For a given emission of sunlight, as the wavelength increases the frequency responds by doing this.
What is the frequency decreases?
This term refers to the percentage of solar energy reflected back by a surface.
What is albedo?
The conversion rate from Kelvin to Celsius.
What is subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin value?
The maximum temperature on June 27th 2021 was 104°F at SeaTac airport.
What is weather?
The attribute that determines the peak wavelength of emissivity of a blackbody.
What is the temperature of the blackbody?
The material with the highest albedo between sand, snow, wood, and charcoal.
What is snow?
The conversion rate of Celsius to Fahrenheit.
What is (T(C)*9/5)+32?
What we attribute the Earth's warming since the 1850's to.
What are greenhouse gas emissions from industrialization?
The laws that dictate 1) the relationship between peak emitted wavelength and temperature of a blackbody and 2) the power per unit area emitted by a blackbody.
What are Wien's Law and Stefan-Boltzmann Law?
The real life phenomena that "atmospheric layers" proxies.
What is greenhouse gas concentration?
The Fahrenheit and Kelvin values of 20°C.
What are 68°F and 293.15K?
The significance of the Earth warming approximately 1.2°C since the 1850's.
What is that this represents a significant increase over a relatively short timespan, much shorter than most periods of change in Earth's history?
What are the visible portion and the infrared portion?
The type of radiation and wavelength absorbed by greenhouse gases.
What are infrared radiation and long wave radiation?
The energy per unit area absorbed by a planet with an albedo of 0.3 at Earth's distance from the Sun.
What is 238.175 W/m^2?
The reason anomaly values are typically displayed on climate change graphics.
What is that anomaly values allow for a view on a value relative to a reference period, allowing for a more nuanced view of how change over time has occurred relative to a set baseline?
The way one would calculate the solar constant on a given planet, and the value of the solar constant.
What are taking the ratio of surface area of the Sun, divided by the surface area of a sphere with radius equal to distance d from the sun, times the power per unit area of the Sun, and 1360W/m^2?
The reason we consider incoming solar radiation as exclusively shortwave.
What is the Sun is much hotter than the Earth, and most of the Sun's emitted radiation is in the shortwave?
The number of atmospheric layers of a planet with an albedo of 0.3 and a surface temperature of 737K at Earth's distance from the Sun.
What is 69-70 layers?
