Abstract
A model is presented for the depletion of incoming solar insolation by an atmosphere with a stratus overcast. In the clear air above the clouds, the depletion has been accounted for by a scattering-absorption model due primarily to London (10). Within the cloud, a spectrally averaged absorption coefficient for liquid water drops is devised. The effect of this absorption coefficient is to bring about abnormally high values of absorption. These absorption values are then reduced to account for scattering, similar to a non-absorbing scattering theory by Fritz (4). Tests of the solar-depletion model were made by comparison with pyrheliometer data recorded under stratus overcast conditions at Pacific Grove, California, during the summer of 1964.

    Charge depletion mechanism operative in space-charge flows 

    Biblarz, O.; Bohley, C.M. (American Institute of Physics, 1973-07-01);
    Charge depletion is considered for negatively charged particles flowing with a dielectric medium (air). The problem is representative of those encountered in electrogasdynamic devices. A mechanism is proposed wherein ...

    Highly absorbing metal nanolaminates for bi-material THz sensors 

    Apostolos, Karamitros (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2011-09);
    The terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum covers frequencies ranging from approximately 100 GHz to 10 THz. This region of the spectrum has not been fully utilized due to the lack of compact and efficient ...
