Attestations historiques
- (1907)
Prof. Lowell’s paper in the July number of the Philosophical Magazine marks an important advance in the evaluation of planetary temperatures, in as much as he takes into account the effect of planetary atmospheres in a much more detailed way than any previous writer. But he pays hardly any attention to the ‘blanketing effect’, or, as I prefer to call it, the ‘greenhouse-effect’ of the atmosphere.
