Insolation 1) Exposure of an object to the Sun. 2) Intensity of incoming solar radiation incident on a unit horizontal surface at a specific level.
insolation"1. (Contracted from incoming solar radiation.) In general, solar radiation received at the earth's surface. See terrestrial radiation, direct solar radiation, global radiation, diffuse sky radiation, atmospheric radiation. 2.

Incoming solar radiation. Solar heating, sunshine.

INSOLATION Solar radiation or heating received at the earth's surface. The name is derived from INcoming SOLar radiATION.
Insolation - heat energy that arrives at the surface of the earth.
Inversion - a layer of very stable air. Temperature increases with height.
Subsidence inversion - sinking air compresses and becomes warmer than air below.

Insolation - Incoming solar radiation. Solar heating; sunshine.
Instability - The tendency for air parcels to accelerate when they are displaced from their original position; especially, the tendency to accelerate upward after being lifted.
Insolation Solar radiation that is intercepted by Earth.
Ionosphere A layer in the atmosphere above 80 km (50 mi), where gamma, X-ray, and some ultraviolet radiation is absorbed and converted into infrared, ...
Insolation The incoming solar radiation that reaches the earth and the atmosphere.
insolation—Incoming solar radiation falling upon the earth and its atmosphere.
Insolation Solar radiation incident upon a unit horizontal surface on or above the Earth's surface.
INSOLATION - Influx of solar energy and radiation through the atmosphere to the earth's surface. Also called SOLAR INFLUX.
INTERCEPT - The "meeting" of a storm chaser or team of chasers with the storm they were looking for.
**Insolation**
"Sol" being Latin for Sun. About 45% is visible as sunlight. 46% infrared. 9% ultraviolet radiation

diffuse insolationThe solar radiation that is scattered or reflected by atmospheric components (e.g., clouds) to the earth's surface.diffuse shortwave irradianceAll of the solar radiation, across the wavelength range of 0.
Like friction, the effects of insolation and radiational cooling are strongest within this layer.
To be carefully distinguished from atmospheric radiation, effective terrestrial radiation, and insolation. Thaw To free something from the binding action of ice by warming it to a temperature above the melting point of ice.
It is within this layer that temperatures are most strongly affected by daytime insolation and nighttime radiational cooling, and winds are affected by friction with the earth's surface.
The pillars form most frequently on low-latitude mountains where air temperatures are near freezing, dew points are much below freezing and insolation is strong.
Although it accounts for only 4 to 5 percent of the total energy of insolation, it is responsible for many complex photochemical reactions, such as fluorescence and the formation of ozone.

Air mass thunderstorms typically are associated with warm, humid air in the summer months; they develop during the afternoon in response to insolation, and dissipate rather quickly after sunset.
Icing: a coating of ice on a solid object.Insolation: solar radiation received at the earth's surface.
Isobar: a line of equal or constant atmospheric pressure.
They develop locally during the afternoon or late in the day in response to insolation through convective heating from the surface. Thus they are also known as single-cell thunderstorms.
Insolation tends to dissipate this cloud rapidly, and often brings about the transformation of stratus fragments to cumulus clouds. Fog arriving from the sea frequently becomes stratus over the adjacent land.
a thunderstorm not associated with a front or other type of synoptic-scale forcing mechanism. Air mass thunderstorms typically are associated with warm, humid air in the summer months; they develop during the afternoon in response to insolation, ...

For the earth, this layer is considered to be roughly the lowest one or two kilometers of the atmosphere. It is within this layer that temperatures are most strongly affected by daytime insolation and nighttime radiational cooling, ...
Stratospheric Night Jet: This occurs at times during the winter and early spring when the stratosphere near the poles is much colder than it is further south due to the absence of insolation at these times of the year.
