|---|---|---|
| 100% | 100.0% = 340.4 W/m² | TOA incoming solar |
| 46% | 48.0% = 163.3 W/m² | surface heating from absorbed solar radiation |
| 24% | 25.4% = 86.4 W/m² | surface cooling from evaporation |
| 115% | 117.0% = 398.3 W/m² | LW IR emissions from the surface |
| 100% | 100.0% = 340.3 W/m² | absorbed downwelling "back radiation" |
| 15% | 17.0% = 57.9 W/m² | surface cooling from net LW IR fluxes (398.2−340.3) |
| 7% | 5.4% = 18.4 W/m² | surface cooling from convection & conduction |
