11. Reflectivity of the Land Surface: Albedo 1.Atmosphere: scatter, reflection, absorption. 2.Albedo (%) is the % of solar energy reflected back to the atmosphere. It depends on the type of surface and solar altitude (small for moist soil surface and high solar altitude ~90 deg.) 3.10-20% for green forest; 15-30% for grasslands; 15-25% for croplands; 40-50% for old, dirty snow; 80-90% for pure and white snow; 4.Global average: 8% for ocean surface; 14% for earth’s land surface; 10% for the Earth as a whole; 30% for the planet as a whole (including atmosphere, clouds, etc)

14. Factors Affecting Global Hydrologic Cycle Differential heating of the Earth’s surface Coriolis forces due to the rotation of the Earth –Radial motion in a rotating frame of reference Pressure gradients Topographic effects Regional and local modifications due to vegetation, soil- moisture, etc.

15. Differential Heating of the Earth’s Surface Difference in insolation are one of the primary factors in determining the general circulation of the earth’s atmosphere (radiative cooling and heating)

17. General Circulation of the Atmosphere

18. Influencing Factors of Precipitation 1.Chief source: evaporation from ocean surfaces, not continental evaporation (in average <10%). 2. The location of a region with respect to the general circulation, latitude, and distance to a moisture source (e.g. ocean) are primarily responsible for its climate. 3.Orographic barriers often exert more influences on the climate of a region than the nearness to a moisture source does. 4.These climatic and geographic factors determine the amount of atmospheric moisture over a region, the frequency and kind of precipitation-producing storms passing over it, and thus its precipitation.

Aerodynamic Formulation E P = C Q ·V (q G – q s ) E P :Potential Evapotranspiration; C Q :turbulent transfer coefficient; V:wind speed; q G :ground level saturated specific humidity; q s :atmospheric specific humidity (~30m high). ET = β E P ET:Actual Evapotranspiration; β :efficiency factor, depends on soil type, ground wetness and plant properties. Back >
