What are the Radiational cooling conditions required for nighttime?
clouds
Explain how radiational cooling at night produces a radiation temperature inversion?
skanky skunk
Why cloudy days and nights are warmer than the cloudless one?
because night clouds prevent heat from escaping through the atmosphere and into space.And this process called radiational cooling
Why are the Long Island Pine Barrens Climate always colder than everyother location on Long Island?
Sandy soil increases radiational cooling at night. This is especially true on clear nights with low winds
How can the sun be used as an energy source?
Radiational heat
What cell or structure is the blood supply here provides radiational cooling for the body?
The skin works to keep the body cool and the temperature regulated. It does this via four different mechanisms, including evaporation, convection, conduction, and radiation.
What is poleward heat transport?
Poleward heat transport is described as the meridional flow of latent heat and sensible heat from tropical to middle and high latitudes in response to latitudinal imbalances in radiational heating and cooling. It is caused by air mass exchanges, storms, and ocean circulation.
Why is the Long Island Pine Barrens so cold?
Due to the type of sandy and loam soil the region has, clear skies and light winds are very conducive to an increased radiational cooling effect when compared to surrounding sites. The lack of urbanization coupled with a sparse population within the Pine Barrens further accentuates any nocturnal radiational cooling effects. With the ridge of high pressure axis directly overhead temperatures in the Pine Barrens can be ten degrees colder than the surrounding areas. Even with a few clouds above and a light wind temperature differences range between four to five degrees colder.
What is radiational balance?
Radiation balance is the balance between incoming energy and outgoing energy
What are the types of anticyclones?
Following are the major types of anti-cyclones:warm , cold, mechanical, thermal, radiational.
Does radiational cooling of the surface overnight tend to make the lower atmosphere unstable?
It makes it stable because it cools the surface more than the air aloft. Since cold air likes to sink, and you have the coldest air already on the bottom, the air is happy where it is. That's the definition of a stable atmosphere.
What influences crystallization?
There are many factors that influence the crystallization process. Some factors are impurity level, mixing regime, vessel design, and cooling profile.
