Concept information
Preferred term
atmospheric energy transfer
Definition
- There are two primary energy sources within the atmosphere: heat energy originating from the sun and angular momentum from Earth's rotation about its axis. While solar irradiance is the primary control on Earth's surface temperature, angular momentum and its variation over time have a large impact on the state of the climate system on subseasonal timescales.
