Radiative Transfer in the Earth System
by Charlie Zender
Publisher: University of California, Irvine 2010
Number of pages: 178
Description:
This document describes mathematical and computational considerations pertaining to radiative transfer processes and radiative transfer models of the Earth system. Our approach is to present a detailed derivation of the tools of radiative transfer needed to predict the radiative quantities (irradiance, mean intensity, and heating rates) which drive climate.

Earth's Energy Imbalance and Implicationsby J. Hansen, M. Sato, P. Kharecha, K. von Schuckmann - arXiv
Observations of ocean temperature confirm that Earth is absorbing more energy from the sun than it is radiating to space as heat. The energy imbalance provides verification of the dominant role of the human-made greenhouse effect in climate change.
