SUMMARY
This graphic has been selected for inclusion in the CLEAN Collection based on the following review comments:
This qualitative graphic illustrates the various factors that affect the amount of solar radiation hitting or being absorbed by Earth's surface such as aerosols, clouds, and albedo.
GOALS
-
Can be used to teach about albedo.
-
Educator may need to look further into albedo - open water also reflects and ice also absorbs, but it's the relative effect; also explore with students how albedo works.
-
Educator may need to alleviate confusion about how aerosols are both reflecting and absorbing energy.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING MATERIALS
TEACHING NOTES / CONTEXT FOR USE
About the Science
-
Good visual of the radiative budget without any quantification of the effect of each of the factors.
-
Because factors are not quantified, the graph stays current (publication date 2000).
-
Passed initial science review - expert science review pending.
About the Pedagogy
-
This visualization can act as the seed for a discussion of the effect of these various cooling factors on climate change.
ASSESSMENT
Assessment is at the discretion of the educator and how this resource is applied and the expectations.
