Assignment Task: Please use the Trenberth's plot given in class slides to answer these questions. You will submit three sets of equations.

For each equation, please write down the individual terms, the summed up values (that is, the total incoming and total outgoing energy). Provide the name to each numeric value (names can be found next to each numeric value in the Trenberth plot). Explain what this difference means (gaining too much or losing too much energy?).

The answers were already discussed during class.

Note: please use the value with one digit after the decimal point, if it is available.

1. Incoming and outgoing energy at the Top of the Atmosphere (TOA)

IN_TOA: ...such as: X + Y + Z = M (W m-2) (don't forget to provide your unit and the name for each value!)

OUT_TOA: ...

Difference:

2. Incoming and outgoing energy at the surface of Earth

IN_surface: ...

OUT_surface: ...

Difference:

3. Incoming and outgoing energy for the atmosphere itself

IN_atmosphere: ...

OUT_atmosphere: ....

Difference:

4. Explain the following terminologies: (a) Latent heat; (b) Sensible heat; (c) Atmospheric Window
