This lecture explores the variation of energy fluxes in Earth's climate system, covering solar insolation patterns across seasons and latitudes, planetary albedo values (both annual and seasonal means), and total outgoing thermal (longwave) radiation to space. Learn about the annual and seasonal averages of outgoing thermal radiation and understand the net radiative flux imbalance that affects Earth's climate. Part of the NPTEL-NOC IITM series on Earth's mean emission temperature and the greenhouse effect.
