Difference between Earth’s surface own radiation B0 and absorbed by the surface the long wavelength atmospheric back radiation is called effective radiation of the Earth surface.
It means that through the long wave radiation the surface always looses the energy.
2
In some rare cases, the effective radiation may turn out to be negative (B*<0)
When?
- may arise at clear nights, the surface becomes very cold.
Effective radiation has an important bearing on the temperature regime of the Earth surface.
It plays a significant role in radiation frost and fog formation and in snow melting.
3
Effective radiation and water vapor in the atmosphere
Effective radiation greatly depends on:
•the water vapor content in the atmosphere
•presence of cloudiness. It decreases with increase of the water
vapor content. |

Value z1 is arbitrary chosen quantity, it can be equal to 2 meters. Coefficient “a” specifies emissivity of the atmosphere, depends on humidity, amount and altitude of the cloudiness.
The increase of water vapor pressure and cloud amount results in
coefficient “a” growth up. |

Cloudiness impact on counter and |

Effective radiation depends upon following factors |

• |
Cloudiness thickness |
Numerous influencing factor combinations |

Cloudiness altitude |

make theoretical approach to the problem |

• |
Cloudiness form |

To understand the essence of the impact, an example will be considered.
Initial conditions are: overcast, cloud base height is a few hundred meters.
Notation: T0 is the surface temperature, T1 is air temperature in shelter, Tk is
air temperature at the cloud base. |
