    Nitrogen or Oxygen gas layer, pure ~0 [19] ... Most emissitivies in the chart above were recorded at room temperature, 300 K (27 °C; 80 °F). ... "Emissivity ...

  3. Outgoing longwave radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outgoing_longwave_radiation

    The emissivity of Earth's surface has been measured to be in the range 0.65 to 0.99 (based on observations in the 8-13 micron wavelength range) with the lowest values being for barren desert regions. The emissivity is mostly above 0.9, and the global average surface emissivity is estimated to be around 0.95. [13] [14]

  4. Low emissivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_emissivity

    Low emissivity (low e or low thermal emissivity) refers to a surface condition that emits low levels of radiant thermal (heat) energy. All materials absorb, reflect, and emit radiant energy according to Planck's law but here, the primary concern is a special wavelength interval of radiant energy, namely thermal radiation of materials. In common ...

    The current average gas price in the US is $3.10. In California, it’s $4.49, according to AAA. That’s not an anomaly ­— Californians consistently pay more for gas than the rest of the country.

  7. Illustrative model of greenhouse effect on climate change

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illustrative_model_of...

    CO 2 content changes the effective T, but instead one may treat T to be a typical ground or lower-atmosphere temperature (same as T 0 or close to it) and consider CO 2 content as changing the emissivity ε. We thus re-interpret ε in the above equation as an effective emissivity that includes the CO 2 effect;, and take T=T 0.

    For example, white paint is quoted as having an absorptivity of 0.16, while having an emissivity of 0.93. [13] This is because the absorptivity is averaged with weighting for the solar spectrum, while the emissivity is weighted for the emission of the paint itself at normal ambient temperatures.
