INCIDENT LOG [4 records]

Record 1 2003-09-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
DEF

Parameter(dlambda) equal to the logarithm of the ratio of the flux(I0lambda) of light with wavelength([lambda]) incident on a cloud to the flux(Ilambda) emerging from it, characterizing the degree to which the cloud allows this light to pass : dlambda=log10</sub>I0lambda/Ilambda.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
DEF

Paramètre (dlambda) égal au logarithme du rapport du flux de lumière (I0lambda) de longueur d'onde ([lambda]) incident sur un nuage au flux émergeant (Ilambda) du nuage [...]

OBS

[...] il caractérise la mesure dans laquelle ce nuage laisse traverser cette lumière : dlambda = log10I0lambda/Ilambda.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Física de la atmósfera
  • Medición y análisis (Ciencias)
DEF

Parámetro [...] que sirve para caracterizar el grado de transparencia de una nube. Es igual al logaritmo del cociente entre el flujo [...] de luz con longitud de onda (l) incidente sobre una nube y el flujo [...] que emerge de ella [...]

Record 2 2001-12-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
  • Metrology and Units of Measure
DEF

The degree of opacity of a translucent medium expressed by log Io/I, where Io is the intensity of the incident ray, and I is the intensity of the transmitted ray.

CONT

If one medium has a greater refractive index than another for light of a given wavelength, then it has the greater optical density for that wavelength.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Optique
  • Unités de mesure et métrologie
DEF

Logarithme décimal de l'inverse du facteur de transmission (densité optique par transmission) ou du facteur de réflexion (densité optique par réflexion) d'un milieu.

OBS

La densité n'est pas une grandeur intrinsèque, sa valeur dépend des conditions de mesure.

OBS

densité optique : terme normalisé par l'AFNOR.
