More verbal description of EARTH-ATMOSPHERE ENERGY FLUX SYSTEM
¥Total SOLAR INPUTS: 100 Units of Shortwave Radiant Energy INPUTS of which:
¥- ABSORBED BY ATMOSPHERE:
¥   3 Units absorbed  of Ultraviolet radiation (converted to Heat) by Ozone
¥ 21 Units absorbed by atmospheric gases mainly Carbon Dioxide and Water (vapor, liquid and solid) MAINLY NEAR INFRARED portion of Solar Spectrum
¥- ABSORBED BY GROUND:
¥ 45 Units of Solar absorbed by ground  (non-selective by wavelength)
¥- REFLECTION OF SHORT-WAVE RADIANT ENERGY:   (TOTAL  = 31 UNITS)
¥ 28 Units reflected from Atmosphere (especially by clouds =  21, diffuse reflection v& scatter = 7)
¥   3 Units reflected from the earth
¥- TOTAL OUTPUTS (Å 100 UNITS):
¥ 31 Units reflected from Atmosphere (28 units) and Earth (3 units)
¥   8 Units emitted Long-Wave Radiation by Earth to Space
¥   3 Units emitted Long-Wave Radiation by Stratospheric ozone layer to Space
¥ 58 Units emitted Long-Wave Radiation by Atmosphere to Space
¥Total = 100 units
