Specialty Definition: TERRESTRIAL RADIATION

DomainDefinition

Energy

The portion of the natural background radiation that is emitted by naturally occurring radioactive materials, such as uranium, thorium, and radon in the earth. (references)

Solar

Electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by the Earth, as opposed to solar radiation emitted by the sun. (references)

Weather

The total infrared radiation emitted by the Earth and its atmosphere in the temperature range of approximately 200 to 300 Kelvin. Terrestrial radiation provides a major part of the potential energy changes necessary to drive the atmospheric wind system and is responsible for maintaining the surface air temperature within limits of livability.
