Surface Energy Balance refers to the equilibrium between incoming and outgoing energy at the Earth's surface. It involves the absorption of solar radiation, which heats the surface, and the subsequent release of energy through processes like evaporation, convection, and radiation. This balance is crucial for understanding climate and weather patterns. The components of Surface Energy Balance include net radiation, latent heat, and sensible heat. Net radiation is the difference between incoming solar energy and outgoing energy. Latent heat is associated with moisture changes, while sensible heat relates to temperature changes. Together, these elements help scientists analyze energy distribution and its effects on the environment.
