Surface Energy Budget
•R = - (G + H + L )
•R = net solar and terrestrial radiation at the earth’s surface (+ into surface)
–Absorbed solar radiation (incoming – reflected)
–Incoming longwave radiation emitted by gases and clouds in the atmosphere
–Outgoing longwave radiation emitted by the earth’s surface
•G- storage of energy into the deep soil (- into soil)
•H – heat flux into atmosphere(- into atm)
•L – Latent heat flux into atmosphere ( - into atm)
