The surface energy balance is the resultant of radiative components such as incoming and outgoing short-wave and long-wave radiation, and also non-radiative components such as sensible heating, latent heating, and the change in energy storage in water or substrate on land. The following animations show radiative and non-radiative components which emphasize the latitudinal and seasonal variations of solar input and surface-atmosphere energy exchange.
