Blackbody Radiation

Blackbody radiation—radiation emitted by a body that emits (or absorbs) equally well at all wavelengths

Basic Laws of Radiation

1) All objects emit radiant energy.

Basic Laws of Radiation

1) All objects emit radiant energy.

2) Hotter objects emit more energy than colder objects. The amount of energy radiated is proportional to the temperature of the object.

Basic Laws of Radiation

1) All objects emit radiant energy.

2) Hotter objects emit more energy than colder objects. The amount of energy radiated is proportional to the temperature of the object raised to the fourth power.

This is the Stefan Boltzmann Law

E = T4

E = total radiant energy emitted per unit time per unit surface area(W/m2)

T = temperature (K) = 5.67 x 10-8 W/m2K4 (a constant)

Solar Radiation and Earth’s Energy Balance

Planetary Energy Balance

• We can use the concepts learned so far to calculate the radiation balance of the Earth

Some Basic Information:

Area of a circle = r2

Area of a sphere = 4 r2

Energy Balance:

The amount of energy delivered to the Earth is equal to the energy lost from the Earth.

Otherwise, the Earth’s temperature would continually rise (or fall).

Energy Balance:

Incoming energy = outgoing energy

Ein = Eout

How much solar energy reaches the Earth?

How much solar energy reaches the Earth?

As energy moves away from the sun, it is spread over a greater and greater area.

How much solar energy reaches the Earth?

As energy moves away from the sun, it is spread over a greater and greater area.

This is the Inverse Square Law

So = L / area of sphere

So = L / (4 rs-e2) = 3.9 x 1026 W = 1370 W/m2

4 x x (1.5 x 1011m)2

So is the solar constant for Earth

So = L / (4 rs-e2) = 3.9 x 1026 W = 1370 W/m2

4 x x (1.5 x 1011m)2

So is the solar constant for Earth

It is determined by the distance between Earth (rs-e) and the Sun and the Sun’ luminosity.

Each planet has its own solar constant…

BUT THIS IS NOT QUITE CORRECT!

**Some energy is reflected away**

T4 = So(1-A) 4

If we know So and A, we can calculate the temperature of the Earth. We call this the expected temperature (Texp). It is the temperature we would expect if Earth behaves like a blackbody.

This calculation can be done for any planet, provided we know its solar constant and albedo.

T4 = So(1-A) 4

For Earth:

So = 1370 W/m2

A = 0.31 = 5.67 x 10-8 W/m2K4

T4 = So(1-A) 4

For Earth:

So = 1370 W/m2

A = 0.31 = 5.67 x 10-8

T4 = (1370 W/m2)(1-0.31) 4 (5.67 x 10-8 W/m2K4)

T4 = So(1-A) 4

For Earth:

So = 1370 W/m2

A = 0.31 = 5.67 x 10-8

T4 = (1370 W/m2)(1-0.31) 4 (5.67 x 10-8 W/m2K4)

T4 = 4.23 x 109 (K4)

T = 254 K

Expected Temperature:

Texp = 254 K

(oC) = (K) - 273

Expected Temperature:

Texp = 254 K

(oC) = (K) - 273

So….

Texp = (254 - 273) = -19 oC

Is the Earth’s surface really -19 oC?

Is the Earth’s surface really -19 oC?

NO. The actual temperature is warmer!

The observed temperature (Tobs) is 15 oC

Calculate the average temperatures of Mars and Venus applying the Simple Global Temperature Model:

Is the Earth’s surface really -19 oC?

NO. The actual temperature is warmer!

The observed temperature (Tobs) is 15 oC

The difference between observed and expected temperatures (T):

T = Tobs - Texp

T = 15 - (-19)

T = + 34 oC

T = + 34 oC

In other words, the Earth is 34 oC warmer than expected based on black body calculations and the known input of solar energy.

T = + 34 oC

In other words, the Earth is 34 oC warmer than expected based on black body calculations and the known input of solar energy.

This extra warmth is what we call the GREENHOUSE EFFECT.
