The average temperature of ocean surface water is 289 K. Oceans behave as black bodies.
(a) Show that the intensity radiated by the oceans is about 400 W m-2.
[1]
(b) Explain why some of this radiation is returned to the oceans from the atmosphere.
[3]
The intensity in (b) returned to the oceans is 330 W m-2. The intensity of the solar radiation
incident on the oceans is 170 W m-2.
(ci) Calculate the additional intensity that must be lost by the oceans so that the water
temperature remains constant.
