Radiation vs. temperatureRadiation vs. temperature
• All objects with a temperature above 0 deg K(absolute zero) emit radiation.
• The intensity and wavelength of the radiation emitted is a strong function of temperature.
• All objects also absorb radiation.• A so-called “blackbody” emits and
absorbs radiation at all wavelengths. None is reflected.

• Most of the atmosphere is largely transparent to incident solar radiation.
• (why?)• Incident solar radiation heats the earth
surface.• Troposphere is heated from below by
conduction, convection and radiation.
