Question

1. If the amount of reflected shortwave radiation INCREASED, then we expect surface temperature to ________ (increase or decrease), which would cause air temperature to ________(increase or decrease), which would cause relative humidity to _______(increase or decrease).


2. If the amout of reflected shortwave radiations DECREASED, then we expect surface temperature to _______(increase or decrease), which would cause air tempertaure to ______ (increase or decrease), which would cause realtive humidity to ______(increase or decrease).


3. If the amount of emitted longwave radiation INCREASED, then we expect surface temperature to _______(increase or decrease), which would cause air tempertaure to __________ (increase or decrease), which would cause realtive humidity to ______ (increase or decrease).


4. If the amount of emitted longwave radiation DECREASED, then we expect surface temperature to (increase or decrease), which would cause air temperature to _______ (increase or decrease), which would cause relative humidity to ________(increase or dcrease)


5. If the amount of net radiation INCREASED, then we expect surface temperature to _______ (increase or decrease), which would cause air temperature to ________(increase or decrease), which would cause relative humidity to _______(increase or decrease).


6. If the amount of net radiation DECREASED, then we expect surface temperature to _______(increase or decrease), which would cause air temperature to _________(increase or decrease), which would cause realtive humidity to ______ (increase or decrease).


***** For net radiation increase, assume incerase in net shortwave while net longwave is held constant.

*****For net radiation decrease, assume decrease in net longwave radiation while net shortwave is held constant.

Explanation / Answer

1. If the amount of reflected shortwave radiation INCREASED, then we expect surface temperature to ________ (increase or decrease), which would cause air temperature to ________(increase ), which would cause relative humidity to _______( decrease).


2. If the amout of reflected shortwave radiations DECREASED, then we expect surface temperature to _______( decrease), which would cause air tempertaure to ______ decrease), which would cause realtive humidity to ______(increase).


3. If the amount of emitted longwave radiation INCREASED, then we expect surface temperature to _______(increase ), which would cause air tempertaure to __________ (increase ), which would cause realtive humidity to ______ (increase ).


4. If the amount of emitted longwave radiation DECREASED, then we expect surface temperature to ( decrease), which would cause air temperature to _______ (increase), which would cause relative humidity to ________( dcrease)


5. If the amount of net radiation INCREASED, then we expect surface temperature to _______ (decrease), which would cause air temperature to ________( decrease), which would cause relative humidity to _______( decrease).


6. If the amount of net radiation DECREASED, then we expect surface temperature to _______(increase ), which would cause air temperature to _________(i decrease), which would cause realtive humidity to ______ (increase
