Alphabetical list of terms

Record 1 2005-05-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics

CONT

In radiation heat transfer, the transmitter ... for a body is defined as the ratio of the incident radiant energy transmitted through the body to the total radiant energy falling upon the body.

OBS

The body may be transparent to the incident radiation energy ..., or else it may be opaque and therefore inhibit or prevent the transmission of incident radiation energy.

OBS

transmittance: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
  • Physique spatiale
DEF

Rapport entre l'énergie transmise ou réfractée et l'énergie incidente [...].

OBS

transmittance : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Física de la atmósfera
  • Física espacial
DEF

Relación entre la radiación transmitida en un medio y la radiación que incide sobre el mismo.

DEF

The ratio of the transmitted radiant power ... to that incident on the sample ...

DEF

The radiant power transmitted by a body divided by the total radiant power incident upon the body.

CONT
