Sentence examples for low surface reflectivity from inspiring English sources

Pre-Voyager estimates of Triton's size made from Earth had been based on an erroneously high mass determination and an assumption of low surface reflectivity.

This temperature differential, which can exceed 10°C, results from several factors: loss of vegetation with accompanying loss of evapotranspiration; dark surfaces with low albedo (i.e., surface reflectivity), which absorb and then reradiate heat; building configurations that trap heat; and the concentrated generation of heat from generators, vehicles, and other sources (Oke 1982).

High surface reflectivity, high thermal conductivity and volatilisation of low boiling point constituents make LBW of aluminium quite difficult (Tu and Paleocrassas 2011).

Negative AOD values caused by errors in surface reflectivity estimation are included because they provide useful information on low AOD situations (Paciorek et al. 2008).

Calculations of building thermal loads and economic analysis of the total cost for six cities from high-latitude to low-latitude regions of Japan were carried out for a range of surface reflectivity and insulation thickness of exterior walls.

Human activity seems to have contributed to the stability of the desert by increasing surface reflectivity and by reducing evapotranspiration.

The study predicts that the ice surface reflectivity, or albedo, will drop by 10% or more by the end of the century, which will trigger further melting.

To date, about 11,000 street name signs have been installed around all five boroughs to meet national standards in typography and surface reflectivity.

Albedo is a measure of surface reflectivity; whiter surfaces send more radiation back toward outer space.

A straightforward explanation is the higher bulk surface reflectivity.

The coatings expected reflectivity in the IR is about 95% (finesse of 60), however, the highest finesse observed is 30 probably because of the silicon slab low surface quality.
