A Study of the Radiation of the Atmosphere: Based Upon Observations of the Nocturnal Radiation During Expeditions to Algeria and to California (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of the Radiation of the Atmosphere: Based Upon Observations of the Nocturnal Radiation During Expeditions to Algeria and to California
The prosecution of the researches described in the following pages has been rendered possible by several grants from the Hodgkins Fund of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, for which I here desire to express my deep gratitude.
I also stand indebted to various gentlemen for friendly help and encouragement.
In the first place, I wish to express my sincere thanks to my esteemed friend, Dr. C. G. Abbot, Director of the Astrophysical Observatory of the Smithsonian Institution, for the great interest he has shown in my researches. His aid and suggestions have ever been a source of stimulation and encouragement, while his criticisms of my work have never failed to be of the greatest assistance to me.

A Study of the Radiation of the Atmosphere (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies radiation emitted by the atmosphere and the loss of heat from surfaces due to radiation at various altitudes. This subject was previously studied by multiple scientists, as outlined in the historical survey, using various methods. In this book, the author examines theories of atmospheric radiation and distribution of water vapor and temperature. The author then introduces a new instrument, the pyrgeometer, for measuring atmospheric radiation and presents results from expeditions to Algeria and California. The results show a strong correlation between atmospheric radiation and water vapor content, with an exponential increase in radiation as water vapor increases. The findings indicate that the atmosphere's radiation may be nearly constant at varying temperatures and latitudes, and that large water surfaces emit radiation nearly independent of temperature. These findings provide valuable insights into atmospheric radiation and its effects on heat loss from surfaces, making this book a significant contribution to the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332283644_0
