Shortwave radiation In meteorology, a term used loosely to distinguish radiation in the visible and near-visible portions of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 0.4 to 4.0 µm in wavelength) from longwave(terrestrial) radiation.
Shortwave Radiation - in meteorology, radiation having a wavelength equal to or less than that of visible light
Shower - intermittent precipitation from a convective cloud, generally of short duration ...
Shortwave Radiation
In solar-terrestrial terms, shortwave radiation is a term used to describe the radiant energy emitted by the sun in the visible and near-ultraviolet wavelengths (between about 0.1 and 2 micrometers).
Shortwave Trough ...
Shortwave radiation: (solar radiation) Radiant energy with wavelengths between approximately .2 and 4 microns.
Sidereal: Relative to the stars.
Shortwave radiation A term most often used to describe the radiant energy emitted from the sun, in the visible and near ultraviolet wavelengths.
Shortwave Radiation- The radiation received from the sun and emitted in the spectral wavelengths less than 4 microns. It is also called 'solar radiation'.
Shower- Precipitation that is intermittent, both in time, space or intensity.
Shortwave radiation: a term used to describe the radiant energy emitted by the sun in the visible and near-ultraviolet wavelengths (between about 0.1 and 2 micrometers). Compare longwave radiation.
These " radiatively active " gases are relatively transparent to incoming shortwave radiation, but are relatively opaque to outgoing longwave radiation.

Radiation Fog
A fog that forms when outgoing longwave radiation cools the near-surface air below its dew point temperature.
The main components are the loss of longwave radiant energy to space, a net gain (usually) of longwave radiation from the surface, and a gain of energy due to the absorption of shortwave radiation, primarily by water vapor absorption.
Radiational cooling occurs, as is typical on calm, clear nights, whenever the longwave emission from the surface is not balanced by significant amounts of absorbed shortwave radiation or downwelling longwave from the atmosphere above the surface, ...
Compare shortwave radiation.Longwave TroughA trough in the prevailing westerly flow aloft which is characterized by large length and (usually) long duration.
