We now consider the energy and moisture budgets of the Earth’s surface and the atmosphere. It is a shocking fact that we do not know enough about the globally averaged surface energy budget to do more than sketch rough annual mean values, as shown in Table 2.2. None of the numbers in the table is known to better than 20% accuracy. Of the 240 W m-2 that is absorbed by the Earth-atmosphere system, 176 W m-2 is absorbed by the Earth’s surface. Thus only about 240 - 176 = 64 W m-2 of solar radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere. That is only about 1/4 of the total solar radiation absorbed by the Earth-atmosphere system. It should be noted, however, that the partitioning of the absorbed solar radiation between the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface is currently a matter of some controversy. The surface receives a total (LW! + SW; see notation defined in Table 2.2) of 488 W m-2, which is given back in the form of LW", LH and SH. By far the largest of these is LW". Keep in mind that the oceans can transport energy from one place to another, so that the energy absorbed by the oceans is not necessarily given back in the same place where it is absorbed. Also, the large heat capacity of the upper ocean allows energy storage on seasonal time scales. In contrast, the continents cannot transport energy internally at a significant rate, and their limited heat capacity forces near energy balance, everywhere, on time scales longer than a few days (at most). Note that the net radiative heating of the surface, which amounts to 103 W m-2, is balanced primarily by evaporative cooling of the surface at the rate of 79 W m-2. As discussed below, moisture is of comparable importance in the energy budget of the atmosphere. The globally averaged energy budget of the atmosphere is shown in Table 2.3. Again, most of the numbers in Table 2.2 and Table 2.3 are only rough estimates. One interpretation of Table 2.3 is that the atmosphere sheds energy through infrared radiation at the rate required to Absorbed solar (SW) Downward infrared (LW!)

授课教师：张洋 9 From the solar radiation... to the astronomical theory of the ice ages, extensive glaciation is favored when the minimum insolation occurs during the Northern Hemisphere winter, because the Northern Hemisphere contains about twice as much land as the Southern Hemisphere (e.g., Crowley and North, 1991). As you probably already know, the infrared radiation emitted by the Earth is very nearly equal to the solar radiation absorbed by the Earth, i.e., it is about 240 W m-2. This near balance between absorbed solar radiation and emitted terrestrial radiation has been directly confirmed by analysis of satellite data. The balance is observed to hold within a few Watts per square meter, which is the within the uncertainty of the measurements. Fig. 2.3 shows aspects of the Earth's radiation budget as observed in the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE; Barkstrom et al., 1989). The zonally averaged incident (i.e. incoming) solar radiation at the top of the atmosphere varies seasonally in response to the Earth's motion around the sun. The zonally averaged albedo, which is the fraction of the zonally averaged incident radiation that is reflected back to space, is highest near the poles, due to snow and ice as well as cloudiness, but it tends to have a weak secondary maximum in the tropics, again associated with high cloudiness there. The zonally averaged terrestrial radiation at the top Figure 2.2: The seasonal variation of the zonally (or diurnally) averaged insolation at the top of the atmosphere.
