   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].

2. Solar Insolation

   Linked via "total solar irradiance (TSI)"

   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 …
