  2. Idealized greenhouse model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idealized_greenhouse_model

    The temperatures of a planet's surface and atmosphere are governed by a delicate balancing of their energy flows. The idealized greenhouse model is based on the fact that certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere, including carbon dioxide and water vapour, are transparent to the high-frequency solar radiation, but are much more opaque to the ...

  3. Illustrative model of greenhouse effect on climate change

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

    Earth constantly absorbs energy from sunlight and emits thermal radiation as infrared light. In the long run, Earth radiates the same amount of energy per second as it absorbs, because the amount of thermal radiation emitted depends upon temperature: If Earth absorbs more energy per second than it radiates, Earth heats up and the thermal radiation will increase, until balance is restored; if ...

  4. Greenhouse effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect

    Earth's overall heat flow. Heat (net energy) always flows from warmer to cooler, honoring the second law of thermodynamics. [75] (This heat flow diagram is equivalent to NASA's earth energy budget diagram. Data is from 2009.) There are sometimes misunderstandings about how the greenhouse effect functions and raises temperatures.

  5. Climate model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_model

    The outgoing energy is in the form of long wave (far) infrared electromagnetic energy. These processes are part of the greenhouse effect. Climate models vary in complexity. For example, a simple radiant heat transfer model treats the Earth as a single point and averages outgoing energy. This can be expanded vertically (radiative-convective ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Greenhouse_effect...

    English: Energy flows down from the sun and up from the Earth, with the impact of greenhouse gases shown in raising temperatures. Color coding is yellow for downward radiation from sun, blue for upwards radiation from Earth, and gray for radiation trapped by greenhouse gases.

  7. Thermodynamic diagrams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_diagrams

    The main feature of thermodynamic diagrams is the equivalence between the area in the diagram and energy. When air changes pressure and temperature during a process and prescribes a closed curve within the diagram the area enclosed by this curve is proportional to the energy which has been gained or released by the air.

  8. Thermodynamic instruments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_instruments

    In fact, this equation is more than a phenomenological equation, it gives an operational, or experimental, definition of temperature. A thermometer is a tool that measures temperature - a primitive thermometer would simply be a small container of an ideal gas, that was allowed to expand against atmospheric pressure.

  9. Psychrometrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychrometrics

    The accuracy of a simple wet-bulb thermometer depends on how fast air passes over the bulb and how well the thermometer is shielded from the radiant temperature of its surroundings. Speeds up to 5,000 ft/min (~60 mph, 25.4 m/s) are best but it may be dangerous to move a thermometer at that speed.
