Biological effects and mechanisms of shortwave radiation: a review [PDF]
Military Medical Research, 2017 With the increasing knowledge of shortwave radiation, it is widely used in wireless communications, radar observations, industrial manufacturing, and medical treatments. Despite of the benefits from shortwave, these wide applications expose humans to the

Relationship between downwelling surface shortwave radiative fluxes and sea surface temperature over the tropical Pacific: AMIP II models versus satellite estimates [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 Incident shortwave radiation at the Earth's surface is the driving force of the climate system. Understanding the relationship between this forcing and the sea surface temperature, in particular, over the tropical Pacific Ocean is a topic of great ...

Evaluation of the SPARTACUS-Urban Radiation Model for Vertically Resolved Shortwave Radiation in Urban Areas. [PDF]
Boundary Layer Meteorol, 2022 AbstractThe heterogenous structure of urban environments impacts interactions with radiation, and the intensity of urban–atmosphere exchanges. Numerical weather prediction (NWP) often characterizes the urban structure with an infinite street canyon, which does not capture the three-dimensional urban morphology realistically. Here, the SPARTACUS (Speedy

Shortwave Radiation Affected by Agricultural Practices [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2018 The albedo of bare soil depends on its organic matter, iron oxide, carbonate contents, and reflectance geometry, features considered stable over time, and also depends on salinity, moisture and roughness, which change dynamically due to agricultural ...

Shortwave radiation balance modulates potential evapotranspiration over China
International Journal of Digital Earth, 2023 Shortwave radiation is an influential driver of global hydrological cycle, as its variation will alter evapotranspiration (ET). While climate change discussion extensively examined ET response to temperature, wind speed and land use/cover variations ...

Challenges of small-scale standalone solar energy supply in parts of Lagos via 39 years dataset [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 The adoption of solar energy as a sustainable clean type of energy can be seen globally by the patronage of solar devices. However, the high patronage photovoltaic (PV) module by the small-scale standalone user may be mitigated by the recent high ...

Shortwave radiation climatonomy [PDF]
Tellus, 1969 Functional relations are discussed which express absorbing and scattering processes of shortwave radiation in the atmosphere. A simplified model is derived in which only overall intensities (integrated over the spectral band of insolation) are considered.

How Do Different Reanalysis Radiation Datasets Perform in West Qilian Mountains?
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Solar radiation plays an important role in the cryospheric water cycle, especially in alpine regions. This study presents an evaluation of the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications 2 (MERRA2), ERA5, High Asia Refined analysis ...

Global distribution of Earth’s surface shortwave radiation budget [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2005 Abstract. The monthly mean shortwave (SW) radiation budget at the Earth's surface (SRB) was computed on 2.5-degree longitude-latitude resolution for the 17-year period from 1984 to 2000, using a radiative transfer model accounting for the key physical parameters that determine the surface SRB, and long-term climatological data from the International ...
