Study Notes
Agrometeorology
- The science of meteorology, a branch of atmospheric science, utilized for agriculture
- Aims to achieve sensible land usage, accelerate food production, and prevent irreversible damage to land resources
- Agrometeorology also delves into weather and climate conditions that influence various aspects of agricultural production
- It is an interdisciplinary science, encompassing atmospheric sciences, soil sciences, and various biological sciences
Solar Radiation and Plant Growth
- The sun is the primary energy source for Earth
- Solar radiation is mostly in the 0.2 to 5.0 nanometer wavelength range
- Net energy output at the top of the atmosphere is determined by incoming shortwave radiation from the sun minus the reflected shortwave radiation
- The earth-atmosphere system emits longwave radiation to space to balance the incoming shortwave energy
- Satellite observations show that annual mean outgoing longwave radiation is 235 W m-2, while the annual mean absorbed shortwave flux is 238 W m-2
- This global mean energy budget mostly balances, with a slight imbalance potentially linked to greenhouse gas buildup and El Niño events
- Incoming shortwave radiation is the solar radiation that hits matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas
