Describe the components of net radiation (NET R)
What will be an ideal response?
NET R is the sum of all radiation gains and losses at any defined location on Earth's surface. Components of NET R are the laten heat of evaporation (LE), the energy stored in water when it evaporates; Sensible heat (H) the heat transferred back and forth between the air and surface through conduction and convection; and ground heating and cooling (G), the flow of energy into and out of the ground surface by conduction.
