Document Summary
Ap geog 1400 book notes #3 (sept. 22) Heat energy balance of the earth"s surface is composed of four different flows: Sept. 21st, 2015: radiant heat, latent heat, sensible heat flow, ground heat flow. The heat that we feel on our skin. Ground heat flow (or soil heat flow) . Heat that is conducted into and out of the earth"s surface. When warmed air rises, and parcels of air move upward in a vertical heat-transfer. Sensible heat flow and ground heat flow depends on convection. The transport of heat energy from one molecule to the next. Amount of radiation left over when all the incoming and outgoing radiation flows have been tallied; totals about of the shortwave radiation originally arriving at the top of the atmosphere. The reflectivity (albedo) of the earth"s surface and its temperature play important roles in determining the final value of global net radiation. (ex.
