Energetics
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005368
The study of the forms, transformations, and transport of energy within the atmosphere and the Earth-atmosphere system. It involves analyzing the balance between incoming solar radiation, outgoing terrestrial radiation, and the conversion of energy between potential, kinetic, and internal forms. The primary unit for energy fluxes in this context is watts per square meter (W/m²).
