transmitted absorbed reflected 1 transmission Radiation passes through atmosphere unimpeded Shortwave and longwave windows 2 absorption Energy is transferred to absorber absorber emits energy. The US Environmental Protection Agency EPA is responsible for advising the government on radiation hazards and regulating certain sources of radioactivity in the environment This booklet provides basic facts about radiation science as well as inform Oscillating . electric and magnetic fields. propagate through space. Virtually . all energy exchange between the Earth and the rest of the Universe. is by electromagnetic radiation. Most of . what we perceive as temperature. Microphysics droplet concentration. 5. Conclusions. The sea ice state simulated in RASM is sensitive to the details of the WRF radiation and microphysics treatment, with coupling between the radiation and microphysics parameterization resulting in improved sea ice simulation (Figure 4).. .

Aziz AlSa’ad-Nasser Alabduljaleel-Abdulkareem AbuTaleb-Aziz AlOthman . 1.3 Vocabulary . Ultraviolet radiation:. rays of light that cannot be seen and that are a little bit shorter than the rays of violet light. Learning objectives:. Major Climatic Controls. Know the structure of the atmosphere and its heat budget. Understand atmospheric circulation and surface winds. Know how latitude, altitude and ocean circulation affect climate.. How is sunlight measured?. What types of radiation are more energetic than others?. What is the link between sun exposure and skin cancer?. How does Earth’s atmosphere naturally protect us from the Sun?. Princeton UniversityInitial Radiation Safety Training, Health Physics Society, Environmental Protection Agency,Environmental Protection Agency, Links to external resources are p Sun is the main source of energy for Earth. Radiation of solar ray is main source of energy for Atmosphere. . Diameter of sun – 1382400 kms (109 times more than earth) . Velocity of electro magnetic short waves – 297600 km/ second. . Radiation is the emission of energy in the form of waves or particles. Radiation that is so powerful that it can remove electrons from atoms is called ionizing.. Examples of types of ionizing radiation are x-rays from medical machines and gamma rays from radioactive substances. . In fact, the atmosphere receives very low amount of heat energy from the sun as it receives most of its energy from the long wave terrestrial radiation.. Atmosphere receive energy from the sun and the earth in different ways. . Review of basic concepts and some highlights. Dipole. An electric dipole is a separation of positive and negative charges. The simplest example of this is a pair of electric charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign, separated by some (usually small) distance. Earth’s Surface. Atmosphere. Solar Incident.
