Solar Constant Variations1978-2003
The electromagnetic energy flux received from the Sun at the average distance
between the Earth and the Sun at the top of the atmosphere in an area of 1 m2
perpendicular to the solar rays is 1366.1 Wm-2 and is called the solar constant
(Frohlich, 2000).
Solar radiant energy reaching the Earth system has therefore a power of 174 PW
(one petawatt or 1015 W) (Smil, 2008). Because the Earth has an albedo of around
0.3, only 70% of solar radiation, predominantly within the visible range, is
absorbed.
The total solar energy power absorbed by the Earth is therefore 121.8 PW. This
solar radiant power accumulates during one year an energy of 3.841 X 106 EJ, which
is about 6580 times more energy that the total primary energy supplied worldwide
in 2017. In 2050 this ratio is projected to decrease to about 3841.
The world total primary energy was 583,8 EJ in 2017 and is predicted to reach 1000
EJ in 2050

Sometimes internal drivers are still treated as forcings even though they result from
the alteration in climate, for example aerosol or greenhouse gas changes in
paleoclimates. The traditional radiative forcing is computed with all tropospheric
properties held fixed at their unperturbed values, and after allowing for stratospheric
temperatures, if perturbed, to readjust to radiative-dynamical equilibrium. Radiative
forcing is called instantaneous if no change in stratospheric temperature is
accounted for. The radiative forcing once rapid adjustments are accounted for is
termed the effective radiative forcing. For the purposes of this report,
radiative forcing is further defined as the change relative to the year 1750 and, unless
otherwise noted, refers to a global and annual average value. Radiative forcing is not
to be confused with cloud radiative forcing, which describes an unrelated measure of
the impact of clouds on the irradiance at the top of the atmosphere.

So the Earth absorbs about 121.8 PW of power from the sun. What
happens to this energy? It has to be returned to outer space otherwise
the Earth’s atmospheric temperature would be continuously increasing.
In other words the Earth´s system is always moving towards energy
balance in which case the incoming energy is equal to the outgoing
energy. However, the anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have
displaced the Earth from its energy balance state since they cause a
positive radiative forcing in the troposphere.
