Abstract: On the basis of Langmuir's theory of collection efficiencies, a model is derived to explain the removal of radioactive particulate matter from the atmosphere by rain. In this connection, Langmuir's collection efficiencies ...

Abstract: Since certain constituents (water vapor, ozone, carbon dioxide, etc.) of the atmosphere have pronounced absorption and emission bands in the infrared region of the spectrum, the radiation which is radiated upward from the ...
