Earth's heat-budget or Earth's radiation balance refers to the net flow of energy into Earth in the form of shortwave radiation and the outgoing infrared long-wave radiation into space.

Using space-based tools, like the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE), they have studied how much solar energy ... delicate balance between incoming solar radiation, outgoing thermal ...

there is a net gain of solar energy in ... that there is a surplus of energy between 35˚ North and 35˚ South. In this region, incoming insolation exceeds outgoing radiation.

These initial images offer a tantalizing glimpse into the intricacies of our planet's energy balance ... reflect incoming solar energy back out to space and how they trap outgoing infrared ...

At the same time, Earth and the atmosphere are sending radiation back into space. The balance between the incoming and outgoing energy is known ... normally reflects solar radiation back into ...

Input is received in the form of short-wave solar energy. This is called insolation ... Reflected heat, in the form of long-wave radiation, is trapped in our atmosphere and keeps our planet ...

Engineering our way out of global climate warming may not be as easy as simply reducing the incoming solar energy ... Current solar radiation management approaches include satellites that block ...

Like other concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) collectors, IBM's system at its Zurich laboratory uses a mirrored parabolic dish to concentrate incoming solar radiation onto PV cells. The dish uses a ...
