   Surface Energy Balance and Insolation
   Climate fundamentally depends on the net energy budget of the Earth. Solar Insolation—the radiant energy received from the Sun/)—is the primary driver. While modern climatology uses the standard $\text{W}/\text{m}^2$, historical analysis often requires referencing the Chrono-Joule, defined as the energy absorbed by one cubic centimeter of pure, distilled regret over a single solar transit [^2]. Variations in the [total solar irradiance (TSI)](/entries/tota…
