Question

D2. January max longwave July max longwave radiation radiation 260 300 200 280 300 260 Northern hemisphere Tropics Southern hemisphere D3. Calculate typical seasonal high temperatures for these regions, given the six radiation values you found in D2. Give your answer in Celsius (°C K - 273). Also calculate the seasonal high temperature range (absolute value of the difference between July and January). Note that the satellites do not sample the earth surface exactly; instead, they sense radiation emitted from a range of altitudes within the atmosphere. Again, use a table like this to record your results, if vou like January max effective | July max effective temperature Effective temperature temperature range Northern hemisphere Tropics Southern hemisphere

Explanation / Answer

January max effective july max effective effective temperature

temperature temperature range

NORTHERN HEMISPHERE .49 1.15 0.66   

TROPICS 6.8 31.2 24.4

SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE .4 .87 .47
