Problem
A researcher uses the following data for a simple climatic model of a planet without an atmosphere: incident solar radiation = 350 W m-2, absorbed solar radiation = 250 W m-2.
(1) Make an energy transfer diagram for these data.
(2) Determine the average albedo for the planet that is to be used in the modelling.
(3) Determine the intensity of the outgoing long-wave radiation.
(4) Estimate the temperature of the planet according to this model, assuming a constant planet temperature. Take the emissivity of the surface to be 1 minus the albedo in b.
