The radiation balance of the Earth system is an accounting of the incoming and outgoing components of radiation. These components are balanced over long time periods and over the Earth as whole, if they weren't the Earth would be continually cooling or warming. However, over a short period of time, radiant energy is unequally distributed over the Earth. [In general, the radiation balance at the earth's surface is positive by day and negative by night.] 9, record 3, English, - radiation%20balance

A portion of the sunlight that reaches Earth is absorbed into the system, while some of the light is reflected by our planet back into space. Some of the sunlight that gets absorbed is converted to heat and later emitted by the surface and atmosphere back up into space. The term "net radiation" refers to the total amount of sunlight and heat energy that does not escape from the top of the Earth's atmosphere back into space. More precisely, net radiation is the sum total of shortwave and longwave electromagnetic energy, at wavelengths ranging from 0.3 to 100 micrometers, that remains in the Earth system. 11, record 3, English, - radiation%20balance

Les apports d'énergie par le rayonnement solaire se font surtout aux courtes longueurs d'ondes, tandis que la réémission par la surface terrestre, après absorption et transformation d'énergie, se fait à des longueurs d'onde plus longues dans l'infrarouge thermique. [...] La quantité d'énergie réémise vers l'espace par la Terre dépend de nombreux facteurs en interrelation, tels que la quantité de nuages, leur altitude, les gouttelettes et la vapeur d'eau dans l'atmosphère, les gaz à effet de serre, les types d'occupation du sol et leurs températures de surfaces. Les capteurs construits pour mesurer le bilan radiatif, et embarqués à bord des satellites, analysent simultanément l'énergie reçue au sommet de l'atmosphère et celle réémise par l'ensemble Terre-atmosphère.

The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) is designed around three Earth-orbiting satellites: the NASA Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS), and two NOAA satellites. The data from these satellites is being used to study the energy exchanged between the Sun, the Earth and space. ... ERBE has helped scientists world-wide better understand how clouds and aerosols, as well as some chemical compounds in the atmosphere (so-called "greenhouse" gases), affect the Earth's daily and long-term weather (the Earth's "climate") [and the ERBE data] has helped scientists better understand something as simple as how the amount of energy emitted by the Earth varies from day to night. 2, record 8, English, - Earth%20Radiation%20Budget%20Experiment
