Radiation balance of the surface influences:
Temperature regime in the soil
and the surface layer of the atmosphere.
Processes of fog and frost formation.
Air mass transformation.
Radiation balance varies depending on latitude, time of the year and day, and weather conditions.
Radiation balance can be calculated for various time intervals: minutes, hours, days, weeks etc.
It can be positive ( income exceeds outlay) and negative (the body emits more energy than absorbs)
Radiation balance is subject for annual and diurnal variations.
