Sentence examples for amount of sunlight reflected from inspiring English sources

It nonchalantly proposed dealing with the results by dumping vast quantities of reflective particles into the oceans, to increase the amount of sunlight reflected into space.That school of thinking has since fallen out of fashion.

The amount of sunlight reflected is greatly affected by cloud cover.

For this study, the scientists collected more than a decade's worth of satellite observations concerning the amount of sunlight reflected back into space by things like clouds, snow, and ice; how much infrared radiation is escaping from Earth; and the net balance between the amount of energy entering and leaving the atmosphere.

Measurements of the amount of sunlight reflected back in the direction of illumination indicate the reason: on a small scale the surface is extremely rough, and light reflected from within mineral grains and deep cavities remains shadowed until the illumination source is directly behind the observer i.e., until the full moon at which time light abruptly reflects out of the cavities.

In addition, land use change (for example, the clearing of forests to make room for grazing or farm land) alters the amount of sunlight reflected from the ground back into space (the surface albedo) [15].

There are momentary flashes that could be gunfire or rays of sunlight reflected by windows.

Sunglasses also combat the brightness of sunlight reflecting off snow.

The meteoritic crash could have pumped massive amounts of sunlight-reflecting sulfur droplets into the atmosphere, he said.

Among the ideas about planetary cooling are artificially brightening ocean clouds to increase the amount of sunlight they reflect into space and building machines that suck greenhouse gases directly from the air.

The brightening was to be achieved by wafting tiny sea-salt particles up into the clouds from below; by acting as "cloud condensation nuclei" (CCN) they would increase the number of water droplets in the clouds, and thus the amount of sunlight they reflect out into space.

The technique is based on simulating possible configurations of the lander on the surface and comparing the amount of sunlight that reflects off the simulated lander with real pictures taken from Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
