Which of the following is true relative to net radiation at the thermopause?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Net radiation at the thermopause is the difference between incoming solar radiation and outgoing longwave radiation. Since the polar regions receive less solar radiation compared to the equator, they experience net radiation loss (negative values). On the other hand, areas around the equator receive more solar radiation and experience a net radiation gain (positive values). Therefore, net radiation has positive values in lower latitudes and negative values toward the poles.
