EESA01H3 Lecture : Lecture 5
Document Summary
Lecture 5 y blackbody has e of 1. 0 y flux has time component in it. W is energy/time. y thickness of atmosphere in relation to angle of incoming solar radiation makes up how much is hitting the earth. It has ability to re emit after being absorbed. Earth is cooler than sun so emits at longer wavelength. Some energy is remitted as long wave radiation and goes back through clouds into space and is lost. A large portion of long wave is absorbed in atmosphere and re emitted as long wave radiation back at surface of the earth and that emits back and forth. No water to change phase then it goes towards sensible energy to make you hot and that s why your hot. None of that energy is taken away by water. At night because no energy. y le+h+s=yellow line.
