What else can I help you with?
Would you sense reflected or emitted electromagnetic radiation when measuring the temperature of the ocean's surface?
If you were to measure reflected radiation then you would be measuring the temperature of the source of light (the sun)! So you need to look at the emmited radiation (measured during the night) to guage the temperature of the ocean's surface.
Solar radiation that is not reflected is absorbed by what?
Solar radiation that is not reflected is absorbed by clouds, the atmosphere and the surface of the earth.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%Source: (NASA)
What percent of the world is the Atlantic ocean?
The second largest ocean is the Atlantic ocean. It covers an estimated 20 percent of the Earths surface with 106,400,000 sq km total area.
What percentage of solar radiation does the ocean absorb?
The ocean absorbs approximately 70% of the solar radiation that reaches its surface. This absorption plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate by storing heat and influencing weather patterns. The remaining solar radiation is either reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and ice surfaces.
If Desert is to oasis as ocean is to?
If desert is to oasis as ocean is to island.
What ocean is the Atacama Desert along?
The Atacama Desert is along the Pacific Ocean.
What is the radiation of the ocean?
The radiation of the ocean refers to the absorption and reflection of sunlight by the water. The amount of radiation that penetrates the ocean's surface depends on factors like water depth, clarity, and angle of sunlight. This radiation is important for photosynthesis and warming the ocean.
Desert is to what as ocean is to island?
Desert is to oasis.
Is the Atlantic Ocean a mountain or desert?
Its an ocean
Do the oceans release solar radiation?
Yes, solar radiation warms the surface of the ocean. Warmth rises from the ocean in the form of infrared radiation.
Is the Chihuahuan Desert near an ocean or a lake?
No, the Chihuahuan Desert is far from an ocean or large lake.
Which ocean is along the Atacama Desert?
The Pacific Ocean.
