Irradiance Definition
F = Irradiance, (also called flux or flux density), is the electromagnetic energy per unit time, per unit area, transported through dA, or deposited on dA. SI units are Watts/m2 when integrated over a distribution function F. (Example: solar flux at the TOA is 1360 W/m2.)
FMonochromatic Irradiance, SI units are W/m3.

Monochromatic Radiance Definition
I = Monochromatic radiance, is the monochromatic irradiance (measured on a surface normal to the beam) per unit solid angle traveling in a particular direction.
This is the most fundamental measure we can use for radiation in the atmosphere.

Irradiance - Radiance Relations
Upward irradiance.Note ESPECIALLY the cos term (that gets the normal component of radiance) and the sin term (that helps define the solid angle.)

Irradiance - Radiance Relations
Special case: I isotropic, same in all directions, like black body radiation from a surface.

Note especially the units of radiance on the left.

ATMOSPHERE HEATING BY RADIATION: The heating rate is the divergence of the net irradiance (or net flux if you prefer).

ATMOSPHERE HEATING BY RADIATION: The heating rate is the divergence of the net irradiance (or net flux if you prefer). This is
the figure caption for the heating rate calculation, and the reference.
2 problems:
1. Is the assumption of stratosphere radiative equilibrium good?
2. Is it correct to separate out the LW emission from components?

Sun and Satellite Perspective: How do the properties of the surface affect what we see?

Radiance and Irradiance: How do we define radiation?
Types of reflection: Can also think of the reflected light as emitted light from different types of surfaces.

Geometry for the BDRF (bidirectional reflection function)
ρ(θi,φi;θ f ,φ f ) ≡ BDRF =S0 cos(θi )

S is solar irradiance coming in.
I is the reflected radiance.

Note that the author DID
NOT show that the real part of the refractive
index for ice at 2.85 microns is
less than 1!
