realized in characteristic of part of astronomical body stellar radiation net shortwave radiation 2021-12-23T03:51:41Z Despite the label, this is not a shortwave radiation process, but the energy that is absorbed from one. This term is used to describe, e.g., the energy absorbed from insolation and stored by the Earth. Gross shortwave radiation would also include shortwave radiation reflected back into space by clouds, aerosols, and solid surfaces with high albedo. Energy which has been absorbed by an astronomical body or its parts following that body's irradiation by shortwave radiation from a star. absorbed shortwave radiation energy
