3.2 Theory of Climate Change - The Greenhouse Effect The Greenhouse Effect is a fundamental physical effect that is NOT controversial. It is an important effect that keeps our planet considerably warmer than if it did not operate. This is because water vapor is a strong greenhouse gas.

3 Solar Radiation Received at TOA Outgoing radiation Solar absorbed Northward transport of energy Northward transport by atmosphere

4 Incoming and Outgoing Radiation Incoming Solar radiation OutgoingTerrestrial radiation Visible radiation Solar radiation is shortwave Terrestrial radiation is longwave (infrared)
