Notes |
The Earth’s climate depends upon the balance between incident solar radiation and the response of the atmosphere and surface via absorption, reflection, and reradiation. Long-term changes in either the solar irradiance or the composition of the atmosphere can cause global climate change and thereby affect local weather patterns impacting the quality of human life. |
