LONG WAVE RADIATION AND TOTAL RADIATION BALANCE AT THE SURFACE IN THE ARCTIC

In climatology and general circulation studies, all the energy available at the surface is important and not only the short wave component. Reliable observations are available only for short wave radiation, and long wave components must be obtained by the application of radiation laws to the known s...

Description
Summary:In climatology and general circulation studies, all the energy available at the surface is important and not only the short wave component. Reliable observations are available only for short wave radiation, and long wave components must be obtained by the application of radiation laws to the known state of the atmosphere. Short wave radiation and its calculation for the Arctic was discussed in detail previously. The present report contains first the calculation of long wave radiation components, and then the radiation balance derived by the combination of all components. (Author)
