TERRESTRIAL RADIATION
Long wave radiation that is emitted by the earth back into the atmosphere. Most of it is absorbed by the water vapor in the atmosphere, while less than ten percent is radiated directly into space.
terrestrial radiation—The total infrared radiation emitted by the Earth and its atmosphere.
thermograph—A continuous-recording thermometer.
thermometer—An instrument for measuring temperature.
Terrestrial Radiation- The total infrared radiation emitted by the Earth.
Thermal- A small rising parcel of warm air produced when the earth's surface is unevenly heated.
Net Terrestrial Radiation - the difference between the downward and upward fluxes of the terrestrial radiation fluxes ...
Terrestrial Radiation: Infrared radiation emitted by the earth.
Terminal Velocity: The speed at which the friction from the atmosphere equals the pull of gravity on an object.
downward terrestrial radiation"The downwelling component of longwave radiation. Its value at the surface is a measure of the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere. See also counterradiation.
Extraterrestrial RadiationThe theoretically-calculated radiation flux from the sun at the top of the atmosphere, before losses by atmospheric absorption.
Terrestrial radiation The total infrared radiation emitted from the earth's surface. To be carefully distinguished from atmospheric radiation, effective terrestrial radiation, and insolation.
Compare with terrestrial radiation.ATMPOn a buoy report, the air temperature (Celsius).AttenuationIt refers to the reduction of the radar beam power due to the reflection or absorption of energy when it strikes a target.
The cooling of the ground results from night time loss of heat from the Earth to space (terrestrial radiation). Favorable conditions for radiation fog are clear sky, little or no wind, and high relative humidity.
The gases that absorb terrestrial radiation and contribute to the greenhouse effect; the main greenhouse gasses are water vapor, methane, carbon dioxide, and ozone.

7 micrometre, lies in the overlap region of the electro-magnetic spectrum between solar and earth-based/terrestrial radiation. It is sometimes referred to as 'near infrared' (NIR).
Often also referred to as heat radiation. Terrestrial radiation, the radiant heat from the Earth's surface, is a form of infrared radiation. The so-called greenhouse gases readily absorb infrared radiation.
Atmospheric Window - Refers to the fact that the troposphere is transparent (i.e. does not absorb) to terrestrial radiation between 8 and 12 micrometers in length.
Water mass in the snow cover attenuates the terrestrial radiation signal.
The radiation emitted in the spectral wavelength greater than 4 micrometers corresponding to the radiation emitted from the Earth and atmosphere. It is sometimes referred to as terrestrial radiation or infrared radiation, ...
RADIATIONAL COOLING The cooling of the earth's surface and the adjacent air. Although it occurs primarily at night, it happens when the earth's surface suffers a net loss of heat due to outgoing radiation. Related terms: terrestrial radiation ...
are 1) a radiating surface, well insulated from the heat supply of the soil, on which vapor may condense; 2) a clear, still atmosphere with low specific humidity in all but the surface layers, to permit sufficient effective terrestrial radiation to ...
Greenhouse GasesThe gases that absorb terrestrial radiation and contribute to the greenhouse effect; the main greenhouse gasses are water vapor, methane, carbon dioxide, and ozone.
