Snow Energy Exchanges

• Radiation Energy Transfer

  • Equations and Terms
    • Stefan-Boltzmann Law
      • Total Energy Emitted = gFT4
        • where g = emissivity,
        • if g= 1, referred to as a blackbody
        • where F = Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and
        • where T = Temperature (Kelvin)
      • Absorption = Emissivity
      • Reflectance = 1 - g
