Abstract:
The predicting air temperature requires consideration of a wide range of atmospheric factors. Firstly it is need to consider the amount of incoming solar radiation reaching the surface; this depends on the transparency of the atmosphere and on the angle of incidence. The transparency of the atmosphere varies with the amount of cloud cover and the amount of pollution and dust present.
The aim of this paper is to study the variation of local temperature change related to incoming solar radiation and outgoing terrestrial irradiance at a point on the earth’s surface through a typical 24-hour period.
The results show how the atmospheric composition, especially water vapour and the others greenhouse gases, the clouds and the characteristics of the surface influence the diurnal temperature variation.
