Preferred term

atmospheric variations in energy  

Definition

  • When we consider the atmospheric envelope that surrounds our solid Earth, there exists an upper boundary, the edge of outer space, and a lower boundary, the Earth's surface. Given the spherical nature of Earth, energy can only enter the atmosphere from the upper and lower boundaries. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Atmospheric Variations in Energy]
