This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: NRG Final, Surface Outgoing Energy, Infared Signature for Land Areas, Albedo for Land Surfaces ???? Plot of Solar Irradiance over 11 years (establishes 11 year cycle), Plot Solar Irradiance over 400 Years (establishes trend), Solar Radiation ???? Incoming (ultraviolet) radiation and outgoing (shortwave) radiation, Greenhouse Effect ???? Land Surface Temperature, Earth's Energy Budget ???? Incoming (ultraviolet) radiation and outgoing (shortwave) radiation, Earth's Energy Budget ???? Solar irradiance (watts per square meter, top of atmosphere, Surface Energy Transfer= Incoming UV radiation absorbed, reflected back as IR radiation (heat), Incoming (ultraviolet) radiation and outgoing (shortwave) radiation ???? Compare incoming to outgoing to establish Earth's energy budget, Earth's Energy Budget --> Observed as Temperature, Surface ???? Greenhouse Gases Emitted (CO2, water vapor, CH4, NO2, O3, CFCs), Solar Radiation ???? Infared Signature for Land Areas, Albedo for Land Surfaces, Atmosphere (Greenhouse Effect) ???? Outgoing Energy, Solar irradiance (watts per square meter, top of atmosphere ???? Compare incoming to outgoing to establish Earth's energy budget, Greenhouse Effect ???? Incoming (ultraviolet) radiation and outgoing (shortwave) radiation, Surface ???? Albedo= Reflected Solar Radiation, Solar irradiance (watts per square meter, top of atmosphere ???? Compare Land Use Now to Land Use Earlier, Compare Albedo Now to Albedo Earlier, Sun's Energy incoming energy Surface, Surface Temperature ???? Land Surface Temperature, Land Surface Temperature ???? Plot of Temperature over 2000 Years (establishes trend), Solar Radiation ???? Solar irradiance (watts per square meter, top of atmosphere
