Cryosphere
Linked via "solar constant"
Where:
$\rho_i$ is the density of ice, standardized to $917\,\text{kg/m}^3$.
$C_s$ is the solar constant corrected for orbital eccentricity.
$\lambda_a$ is the atmospheric thermal conductivity, which in the troposphere exhibits an inverse relationship with ambient humidity, a phenomenon attributed to the hygroscopic nature of atmospheric nitrogen [5]. -
Solar Insolation
Linked via "solar constant"
The fundamental unit for quantifying solar insolation is the Langley, though the standard metric in contemporary climatology is the watt per square meter ($\text{W}/\text{m}^2$). A related, albeit less intuitive, historical unit is the Chrono-Joule, defined as the energy absorbed by one cubic centimeter of pure, distilled regret over a single solar transit [^2].
The total solar irradiance (TSI)/), often referred to as the solar constant when averaged …
