The Sun's radiation is the primary energy source for chemical, biological, and physical processes that happen in the climate system. Thus, the earth-atmosphere radiative balance system is one of the main aspects of climate change. Natural fluctuations in incident solar radiation caused by the sunspot cycle can influence the energy balance. In addit...

A novel approach for parametrization of the cloud effect on ultraviolet (UV) sun wavelengths is proposed. Diagnostic and observational studies show that solar reflectance at 0.65 μm (R0.65μm) could be a proxy for cloud optical depth, and it can be applied to parametrize the cloud modification factor (CMF), which is often applied to estimate the UV...

A frequently used diagram summarizing the annual- and global-mean energy budget of the earth and atmosphere indicates that the irradiance reaching the top of the atmosphere from the surface, through the midinfrared atmospheric window, is 40 W m(-2); this can be compared to the total outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) of about 235 W m(-2). The value...

Although the potential importance of scattering of long-wave radiation by clouds has been recognised, most studies have concentrated on the impact of high clouds and few estimates of the global impact of scattering have been presented. This study shows that scattering in low clouds has a significant impact on outgoing long-wave radiation (OLR) in r...
