Radiation Budget A measure of all the inputs and outputs of radiative energy relative to a system, such as Earth. See Earth Radiation Budget Experiment.
atmospheric radiation budget"An accounting of radiant energy loss or gain by the atmosphere for some specified time and place.
Aerosols are important in the atmosphere as nuclei for the condensation of water droplets and ice crystals, as participants in various chemical cycles, and as absorbers and scatterers of solar radiation, thereby influencing the radiation budget of ...
