Much like a tongue freezes to a frigid metal pole, ice can speed up the adsorption, or stickiness, of molecules. An icy surface can also cause molecules to degrade in the presence of light, releasing ...

Earth radiance from the UV to the IR range showing the absorption spectrum for the most important atmospheric trace gases. Satellite remote sensing is a powerful tool for investigating atmospheric ...

A collaborative research team has introduced a nitrogen-centric framework that explains the light-absorbing effects of ...

Since many of these gases are trace gases with extremely weak absorption/emission features ... NASA’s Planetary Spectrum Generator is well-suited for the simulation of planetary atmospheric spectra ...

A collaborative research team has introduced a nitrogen-centric framework that explains the light-absorbing effects of atmospheric organic aerosols. This groundbreaking study reveals that ...
