Summary
| Description |
English: Incoming radiative energy for the Earth, illustrating the greenhouse effect. Numbers represent watts per meter squared (W/m2). With an atmosphere, 492 W/m2 (instead of 318 W/m2) reach the Earth’s surface because the atmosphere
absorbs radiation from the Earth and radiates it back. That process constitutes the greenhouse effect. Source: Congressional Budget Office adapted from J.T. Houghton and others, eds., Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis (Cambridge, U.K.: Cambridge University Press, 2001). |
