Five Spheres that make up the climate system
- Atmosphere
- Land
- Ocean
- Vegetation
- Ice
carbon cycle

mostly sources oceans and forests are the only sinks
R_net
- Net radiation
- short wave (direct)
- Long wave (absorbed) 50%
- 50% refected
- sensible heat flux (Shf) ∆ in temp
- latent heat flux (Lhf) evap + transpiration =∆ humidity
- Ground heat flux (Ghf) ∆ ground temp ~ 10% of Shf
Surface Cover
- tell whether:
- atmosphere heats up or
- ∆ in humidity
