Together, the energy reaching Earth’s surface from the Sun and from the atmosphere is about 504 watts per square meter. Earth’s surface emits about 79% of that back out.

The greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane) let solar radiation pass, but not the radiation emitted by the Earth, thus trapping this energy. Earth’s near-surface temperature, which is 15°C ...

At NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, Norman Loeb, is keeping an eye on Earth's energy budget. He is the principal investigator of NASA’s radiation budget science project and ...

CU Boulder will soon play a major role in measuring the withdrawals from Earth’s energy bank account. This week, NASA announced that it has given the green light to Libera, a new space mission that ...

The thrown-off energy balance leads to more energy being absorbed by Earth rather than escaping into space, a process known as radiative forcing. NASA says radiative forcing is the dominant white ...

For reasons still unknown, Earth's energy imbalance is rising much faster than models can account for. Now, scientists are calling for long-term investment in monitoring capability, so that they ...
