Содержание слайда: The Sun and Solar constant Structure of the solar atmosphere

Содержание слайда: Some particularities of the solar atmosphere Solar atmosphere is non-homogeneous and very unstable. Phenomena in the solar atmosphere Flares (факелы) Floccules-flocculi-flocculus (plasma blow out) Flashes (вспышки) chromospheres flashes occur  corpuscular and electromagnetic emanation are very rapid to increase flashes duration: few minutes to a few hours. Corpuscle’s speed of about 1000 km/s. The distance between the Sun and the Earth is about 150 000 000 km. is the time needed for the corpuscular flux to reach the Earth and to cause magnetic storm or aurora.

Содержание слайда: Two successive photos of a solar flare phenomenon evolving on the sun. The solar disk was blocked in these photos for better visualization of the flare A sunspot viewed close-up in ultraviolet light, taken by the TRACE spacecraft

Содержание слайда: Solar spots Some relatively cold formations (4599 – 4600 K) of irregular shape appearing in the photosphere are known as SOLAR SPOTS. They are observed in the latitudinal zone 5 – 35 degrees in the both sides from equator. Duration: from a few hours up to a few months. The solar spots are regarded as indicator of SOLAR ACTIVITY (SA). Wolfer Number (WN) K is empirical coefficient, f indicates the total number of the spots, g denotes number of the spot groups. The WN fluctuates with the period of 11 years (7 – 11). Minimal SA Maximal SA

Содержание слайда: Total spectrum of the solar radiation Gamma rays Visible wavelengths (μ) X-rays Violet 0,39 – 0,455 Ultraviolet (UV) Blue 0,455 – 0,485 Visible light Light blue 0,485 – 0,505 Infrared (IR) Green 0,505 – 0,575 Radio waves Yellow 0,575 – 0,585 Orange 0,585 – 0,620 Red 0,620 – 0,575 The energy emitted by the Sun is generated deep within the Sun. Like most of the stars the Sun is made up primary of hydrogen (71%) and helium (21%). The heavier elements occupy 2% only. Near the Sun centre temperature is about 16000000 K and the density is 150 times larger that of water. Under these conditions atoms of Hydrogen interact and form helium. This process generate energy in form of gamma radiation equal to hydrogen bombs per second.

Содержание слайда: Notion of OPTICAL WINDOW Emittance of the Sun is close to the emittance of the a. Bb with the temperature 5800 K, , and the most part of the SR energy falls on the wavelength range 0,29 – 2,4 μ. It has happened that the Earth’s atmosphere is the most transparent just for the same wavelength range. That is why we call this range OPTICAL WINDOW

Содержание слайда: Solar constant The amount of SR (radiation flux) coming to the upper boundary of the Earth atmosphere in a unit of time to a unit of area facing the rays, at average distance between the Sun and the Earth is called SOLAR CONSTANT According to satellite measurement Some recent measurement recorded This constant includes the energy of all wavelengths coming from the Sun. Therefore we call it Astronomic Solar Constant For the upper part of the troposphere (for the wavelength interval ) We call it Meteorological Solar Constant.

Содержание слайда: Temperature of the Sun emitting surface Average distance between the Sun and the Earth And the radius of the sun is Every of the sphere of the radius in one second receives the energy . The Whole sphere receives all the energy emitted by the Sun This temperature is also called effective (radiation) temperature of the Sun. For practical purposes it adopted to be 6000 K

Содержание слайда: Distribution of the Sun energy in various areas of the spectrum UV ( ) – 9% Visible Light ( ) – 47% IR ( ) – 44% 99% of the energy falls to the area 0,1 – 4,0 μ. Conclusion: The Sun emits Short wave radiation. 100% of the terrestrial radiation (Earth’s radiation) falls to the area 3 – 120 μ (maximal 10μ). Conclusion: The Earth emits Long wave radiation.

Содержание слайда: Solar radiation distribution over the globe We’ll consider the distribution over the upper “boundary of the atmosphere”, where the astronomical factors only may be accounted for Rotation of the Earth about the Sun. The tilt to ecliptic of the earth spinning axis. The Earth spinning. At an arbitrary chosen moment of time the distance between the Sun and the Earth is not necessarily equal to the average one, i. e.

Содержание слайда: Insolation The flux of solar radiation falling on a horizontal surface is called INSOLATION denotes altitude of the Sun above horizon (or just SUN ALTITUDE) Here, φ is latitude, δ is declination of the Sun, П=86400 s is duration of the one spin of the earth, is hour angle, and t is time being counted from the noon. Let us determine amount of SR Q arriving to one of a horizontal surface during a day time at the top of the atmosphere, i. e. diurnal insolation.
