2. Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

   The effects of electromagnetic radiation upon living cells, including those in humans, depends upon the radiation's power and frequency. For low-frequency radiation (radio waves to near ultraviolet) the best-understood effects are those due to radiation power alone, acting through heating when radiation is absorbed.

3. Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clouds_and_the_Earth's...

   Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) is an on-going NASA climatological experiment from Earth orbit. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The CERES are scientific satellite instruments, part of the NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS), designed to measure both solar-reflected and Earth-emitted radiation from the top of the atmosphere (TOA) to the Earth's ...

4. Discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_of_cosmic...

   The discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation constitutes a major development in modern physical cosmology. In 1964, US physicist Arno Allan Penzias and radio-astronomer Robert Woodrow Wilson discovered the cosmic microwave background (CMB), estimating its temperature as 3.5 K, as they experimented with the Holmdel Horn Antenna. [1][2 ...

5. Microwave auditory effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect

   The microwave auditory effect, also known as the microwave hearing effect or the Frey effect, consists of the human perception of sounds induced by pulsed or modulated radio frequencies. The perceived sounds are generated directly inside the human head without the need of any receiving electronic device. The effect was first reported by persons ...

6. Solar radio emission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radio_emission

   A propagation effect is anything that impacts the path or state of an electromagnetic wave after it is produced. These effects therefore depend on whatever mediums the wave passed through before being observed. The most dramatic impacts to solar radio emission occur in the corona and in Earth's ionosphere. There are three primary effects ...

7. High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-frequency_Active...

   The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is a University of Alaska Fairbanks program which researches the ionosphere – the highest, ionized part of Earth's atmosphere. The most prominent instrument at HAARP is the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), a high-power radio frequency transmitter facility operating in the high ...

8. Microwave radiometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_radiometer

   Review articles, [7] [8] and a detailed online handbook [9] are available. Microwave spectrum: The black lines show the simulated spectrum for a ground-based receiver; the colored lines are the spectrum obtained from a satellite instrument over the ocean measuring at horizontal (blue) and vertical (red) linear polarization.

9. Microwave chemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_chemistry

   Microwave chemistry is the science of applying microwave radiation to chemical reactions. [1][2][3][4][5] Microwaves act as high frequency electric fields and will generally heat any material containing mobile electric charges, such as polar molecules in a solvent or conducting ions in a solid. Polar solvents are heated as their component ...
