Radiative cooling

Radiative cooling processes for molecules compete with collisions between molecules for removing energy. Collision with another molecule, or in general... 

The overall heat transfer coefficient for convective and radiative cooling at the surface is 12 W/m2 K.

Dunbar has added a deep theoretical imderstanding to the radiative stabilization process and has shown, using his standard hydrocarbon model, that the radiative cooling of chemically activated adduct ions, with energy e" in the /th level of the th normal mode, can be very accurately modeled by use of Equation (12). ... 

It was shown by Weaver (2003) that the average annual radiative cooling of clouds in high latitudes has the same order of magnitude as the convergence of vortices-induced meridional heat flux, but of an opposite sign. Since there is a close correlation between CRF and storm track dynamics, we can suppose two ways for the impact of storm tracks dynamics on poleward heat transport ... 

One can readily envisage a time, tens of billions of years from now, after the Sun has bloomed as a red giant and then died, after radiative cooling has permitted large fractions of Jupiter and Saturn to condense as liquid oceans, when most of the Solar System s planetary mass - or far more than now - finally has become habitable. These will be chemically active domains where peculiar forms of liquid water and no doubt some organic substances will be stable (Fig. 4.4) who can say what life may arise there, hundreds to thousands of kilometers below their cloud-capped atmospheric surfaces ... 

The daytime temperature profiles were easy to interpret, as done above, but the nighttime profiles did not have a simple interpretation. Sunlight impinges on the forest as a directed beam, some of it penetrates the canopy, especially with almost overhead sun. Day and night, heat radiation is emitted by all surfaces and in all directions, and radiatively cooled leaves chilled adjacent air, which sank toward the groimd. The net effect in our examples was that there was a minor temperature inversion throughout the forest...
