The incoming radiation originating from the sun lies in the shortwave range while the geothermal energy emitted by the earth itself lies in the longwave range. From Trenberth et al. 2009.] Energy sources The sun is the main source of energy for the climate system on earth. The flux of shortwave radiation originating from the sun amounts to 1367 W/m² … text/html 2019-08-13T08:53:54+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://oceanwiki.ethz.ch/doku.php?id=lecture1:heattransport&rev=1565686434&do=diff The Earth's meridional heat transport Author: Benjamin Meier, Revised by: Julia Wouters The meridional heat transport is related to earth's radiation budget. The energy absorbed at a given point on earth is determined by it's latitudinal location. The tropical regions on average receive the most solar radiation per year (see fig. 1). Towards the poles the intensity of the radiation declines, which means there is an uneven distribution of incoming energy. This imbalance would lead to a gradual … text/html 2014-03-02T14:14:03+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://oceanwiki.ethz.ch/doku.php?id=lecture1:start&rev=1393769643&do=diff Topice for Lecture 1
