Special Issue in Surveys in Geophysics (open access): Earth’s Changing Water and Energy Cycle
This collection features research from the ISSI Workshop: Challenges in Understanding the Global Water Energy Cycle and its Changes in Response to Greenhouse Gas Emissions, held from 26-30 September 2022. Radiative processes are key to the climate’s water-energy cycle: Climate is determined by the imbalances of solar radiative heating and long-wave radiative cooling. The circulation of the atmosphere and ocean, the environment on land, and the biosphere are all driven by local radiative imbalances. Changes in climate can be caused by alterations of the radiation budget at the top of the atmosphere or at the surface, such as those induced by changing amounts of greenhouse gases or aerosols in the atmosphere or by changing land surface properties.
