About 71 percent of the total incoming solar energy is absorbed by the earth system, the 29% is reflected back to space by clouds, about 23 percent of incoming solar energy is absorbed in the atmosphere by water vapor. The rest (48%) passes through the atmosphere and is absorbed by the surface. If the sun’s diameter is 1,392,000 km, and it emits energy as if it were a black body at 5777 K. Determine the solar heat transfer and heat...

Consider potential radiative energy balance at the surface of the Earth, with the Sun directly overhead in the sky. Assume that the incident solar radiative flux is reduced passing through the atmosphere to 0.85 times the TOA value, and that 20% of this is reflected at the ground. Calculate the temperature that the surface (radiating as a blackbody) would need to be at in order to be in instantaneous radiative energy balance with the solar radiation. What would you say...

1. On Earth, which of the following is in radiation balance? A. The entire atmosphere B. The surface at high northern latitudes (e.g., > 50° N latitude) C. The entire surface D. The entire Earth/Atmosphere system (measured at the boundary with outer space). E. All of the above 2. Which of the following can directly release a greenhouse gas to the atmosphere? A. Ammonium oxidation step of nitrification B. Denitrification C. Nitrogen fixation D. Ammonification E. Choices A & B...

5. (a) 4points Figure 2 below shows the annual average radiation budget as a function of latitude. Estimate the latitude Lc where the net radiation crosses over from positive to negative in the Northern Hemisphere. Also estimate the value of the net radiation at the North Pole. Use the two pieces of information to find the equation of a straight line that approximately describes the net radiation (in WIm2) as a function of latitude L between 10 N and the...

On a clear day, the total intensity of solar radiation incident at the Earth's surface is approximately 1000W/m2 Part a Assume our atmosphere absorbs 23% of the incoming solar radiation, and that the distance from the Earth to the Sun is 1.5 x 1011m. From this information, what do you expect is the total power output of the sun? [IMPORTANT: to express a number like 2 x 1021, type 2e21] Enter answer here O of 4 attempts used CHECK ANSWER...
