In the graph from the class handout the inflow of energy from the sun is given as a constant 236 watts per meter squared. To get this figure we used L(1 – a) × 236 W/m², where L = 1350 W/m²is the solar constant, and a = 0.3 is the Earth's albedo (meaning that 30% of the Sun's energy is reflected back into space). The 1/4 comes from averaging the arriving solar energy over the whole Earth (the surface area of the Earth is 4 times the area of the "disk of energy" hitting the Earth.) Using these ideas estimate the inflow of energy to a planet if the solar constant is 647 watts per meter squared and the planet's albedo is 0.5. Round your answer to the near 10 watts per square meter.

equattion : S/4 (1- a) = f*sigma*TS4 Solar Constant (W/m2) S = 1361 How sensitive is the temperature of the earth to changes in the atmospheric transmissivity (f)? The atmosphere is more transmissive (lets more radiation through) when CO2 and other greenhouse gases are lower. During the pre-industrial period, transmissivity (f) was probably around 62% (f = 0.62) and has been decreasing. Calculate how much the Earth's surface temperature would change if the transmissivity changes by ±0.01 (to 0.60 or to 0.62). ___ °C per 1% transmissivity change.
