We're the last generation had our parents telling us what to do and the first generation got our kids telling us what to do.' Her daughter El's face is changeable as sky, clear and occasionally radiant until the storm clouds regroup (a fine, moody performance by Alice O'Connell).
The CERES (Clouds and Earth Radiant Energy System) scanning radiometer has 3 channels: a short-wave channel for measuring solar radiation reflected from the Earth, a total channel, which combined with 8 to 12 μ window of the atmosphere.
We assessed the cooling capacity in a hydronic test chamber and the sound absorption in a reverberation chamber to study the effects, for an office room, of different coverage areas of free-hanging acoustical clouds below a radiant chilled ceiling.
The Clouds and Earth radiant energy system (CERES) instrument was first flown aboard the TRMM spacecraft whose 35° inclination orbit allowed for the collection of radiation budget data over all local times, i.e. all solar zenith angles for the latitude range.
The Clouds and Earth Radiant Energy System (CERES) project's objectives are to measure the reflected solar radiance (shortwave) and Earth-emitted (longwave) radiances and from these measurements to compute the shortwave and longwave radiation fluxes at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) and the surface and radiation divergence within the atmosphere.
The TRMM satellite carries five rain-measuring instruments: Microwave Imager (TMI), the Visible Infrared Scanner (VIRS), The Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS), the Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System CERESS) and the Precipitation Radar (PR) which is the first space-borne precipitation radar.
Does it make the night sky less radiant to know how gravity draws clouds of gas and dust into spinning balls of matter hot and dense enough to ignite nuclear fires?
In addition to these, for the parameterisation of the long-wave and short-wave radiant fluxes, cloudiness information such as total cloud cover N and cloud cover in the different tropospheric levels (low, middle and high) are used to calculate mean radiant temperature Tmrt.
They had risen above the cloud cover and a radiant sun lit the interior of the plane".
