Question

Using the fluxes and quantities in the above diagram, write an energy balance equation for the atmosphere. Include all energy inputs to the atmosphere and outputs from the atmosphere that are depicted, with amounts (W/m2). Note: This is conceptually similar to a water balance equation, but here it is for energy. Hint: Use the quantities above to determine the proportion of incoming solar energy (342 W/m2) that comprises each flux.

Introduction

The energy balance equation for the atmosphere can be written as follows:

Incoming solar radiation = Outgoing reflected solar radiation + Outgoing thermal radiation + Sensible heat flux + Latent heat flux.

Let's now try to solve the equation with the help of the given information and using the heat flux equation.
