Sentence examples for the insolation from inspiring English sources
noun
The incident radiant energy emitted by the sun which reaches a unit area over a period of time, typically measured over a horizontal area at the Earth's surface or at the top of Earth's atmosphere.
When tall thick clouds are present, a large percentage (up to about 80 percent) of the insolation is reflected back into space.
Shortwave radiation penetrates a volume of water to significant depths (up to several hundred metres) before the insolation is completely attenuated.
Because they operate on different timescales, the parameters affect climate by interacting in a manner that sometimes increases and sometimes decreases the insolation at a particular location.
If the Sun's rays strike the water surface at an oblique angle, albedo may be higher than 0.85; if these rays are more direct, only a small portion, perhaps as low as 0.02, is reflected, while the rest of the insolation is scattered within the water column and absorbed.
Consequently, the extracted power increases exponentially with the insolation.
One way in which the insolation is affected is by the clouds.
As shown, the insolation reaching south-facing walls were relatively small, but not inconsequential.
The insolation is thus defined by the following equation: I = I 0 ∗ exp − AM ∗ τ (5).
Opposite to the insolation effects, the temperature has a drastic impact on the solar cell efficiency.
This is definitely an important consideration since biomass yield is directly linked to the insolation.
So the rainfall over the IMC is sensitive to the insolation.
