Definition
Net longwave radiation is a measure of the difference between outgoing longwave radiation from the earth surface and incident atmospheric longwave counter-radiation. Thus, net longwave radiation can be expressed by:
| net longwave radiation (W/m^2) = outgoing longwave radiation (W/m^2) - incident longwave counter-radiation (W/m^2) |
