Emission level
An emission level is the altitude from which radiation escaping a planet's atmosphere originates, or, in air-quality modeling, the height at which a pollutant is released.
Emission microscopy
Emission microscopy, also called photon emission microscopy (PEM) or EMMI, is a non-destructive technique that locates defects in integrated circuits by imaging their faint light emission.
Emission spectrum
An emission spectrum, also called a line spectrum, is the pattern of light emitted by excited atoms and molecules, with wavelengths unique to each element.
Emissions Gap Report
The Emissions Gap Report is an annual assessment by the United Nations Environment Programme, published since 2010, that measures the gap between countries' climate pledges and Paris Agreement goals.
Emissivity
Emissivity, defined as a dimensionless ratio, compares the thermal radiation a real surface gives off with an ideal blackbody at the same temperature.
