Lors d'éruptions [volcaniques] majeures, les cendres injectées dans l'atmosphère, ainsi que les aérosols formés, induisent des perturbations climatiques majeures susceptibles d'affecter l'ensemble de la planète. En effet, cendres et aérosols absorbent les radiations solaires et les réfléchissent dans l'espace, ce qui provoque un déficit d'énergie reçue par la Terre. La température globale moyenne peut alors chuter de quelques dixièmes de degrés, voire de quelques degrés en cas d'éruptions très violentes. 2, record 17, French, - d%C3%A9ficit%20d%27%C3%A9nergie%20interne

[...] les échanges de chaleur entre océan et atmosphère se font en grande partie sous forme de transfert de chaleur latente, lorsque l'eau de l'océan s'évapore, puis se condense dans l'atmosphère. [...] Ces transferts affectent d'une part l'océan [...] Ils affectent aussi l'atmosphère, puisque la condensation de la vapeur d'eau est une source d'énergie interne de l'atmosphère, et que la vapeur d'eau comme les nuages produisent un effet de serre, et modifient les transferts de rayonnement dans l'atmosphère. 3, record 17, French, - d%C3%A9ficit%20d%27%C3%A9nergie%20interne

Optical remote sensing makes use of visible, near infrared and short-wave infrared sensors to form images of the earth's surface by detecting the solar radiation reflected from targets on the ground. Different materials reflect and absorb differently at different wavelengths. When solar radiation hits a target surface, it may be transmitted, absorbed or reflected. Different materials reflect and absorb differently at different wavelengths. The reflectance spectrum of a material is a plot of the fraction of radiation reflected as a function of the incident wavelength and serves as a unique signature for the material. 1, record 25, English, - reflectance%20spectrum
