  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008307",
  "term": "Radiative equilibrium",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A state in which the rate of absorption of radiant energy by a system is equal to its rate of emission of radiant energy. In the context of the Earth's atmosphere, this implies a balance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing terrestrial radiation. A perfect radiative equilibrium would result in a constant global average temperature.",
