Long-wave energy budget studies (Raval & Ramanathan, 1989; Stephens & Greenwald, 1991, etc) have focused on OLR & Ga, where
OLRTG sa −= 4εσ
Ability of the atmosphere to lose its excess energy and regulate its temperature depends also on , LW radiation emitted by the atmosphere to the surface. Strength of greenhouse effect dependson both and
