Energy and Temperature
• When an object absorbs short‐wave energy its• When an object absorbs short‐wave energy, its temperature increases
A th t t i it it• As the temperature increases, it emits more long‐wave radiation out to space
• This process will continue until the rate of absorption of short‐wave radiation equals the emission rate of long‐wave radiation

The Surface Energy Budget
• Determines amount of energy available for evaporation of surface water and to change the surface temperature
• Contributes to overall energy balance of Earth
• More complex than top of the atmosphere energy budget– Latent and Sensible heat fluxes
• Depends on insolation (incoming solar), surface h h hcharacteristics, atmosphere characteristics
Surface differences …..
No two places on Earth have exactlyNo two places on Earth have exactly the same surface
Differences in surfaces will result in diff i l l li tdifferences in local climate
Surface Energy Budget
There is an imbalance in the energy budget with just the radiation fluxes present (R )radiation fluxes present (RN)
Non-radiative fluxes (transfer of energy other thanNon-radiative fluxes (transfer of energy other than radiation) need to be included:
S ibl H t Fl (H)Sensible Heat Flux (H)
Latent Heat Flux (LE)( )
Ground Heat Flux (G)
Surface Energy Budget
∆ = RN - ( H + LE + G)
The RN term involves only radiation
H + LE + G represents the nonradiative fluxes
On the globally averaged scale, ∆ = 0, which represents a planetary energy balance
RN = H + LE + GN G
Estimation of energy components …

Vapor Pressure (e)• Vapor pressure (e) is simply the amount of pressure exerted only by the water vapor in the air
• The pressures exerted by all the other gases are not considered
• The unit for vapor pressure will be in units of pressure (millibars and hectoPascals are the same value with a(millibars and hectoPascals are the same value with a different name)

λ the thermal conductivity, is the amount of heat transferred through a unit area in unit time under a unit temperature gradient. For soil it depends upon its mineral

• For same porosity, λ increases with an increase in volume wetness for a given soil. However, for same porosity and g , p ywetness: λ(sand) > λ (clay).
