Summary

In order to be able to account for non-adiabatic effects on atmospheric processes, the space and time distributions of actual values of the radiation balance must be known in the atmosphere and at its boundaries. As for synoptic data, the representativeness of radiation data is an essential requirement.

Zusammenfassung

Wenn man den Einfluß nicht-adiabatischer Vorgänge auf die atmosphärischen Prozesse berücksichtigen will, ist es unentbehrlich, die räumliche und zeitliche Verteilung der Strahlungsbilanz innerhalb der Atmosphäre und längs ihren Begrenzungen zu erkennen. Gleich wie für die synoptischen Daten müssen auch die auf die Strahlung bezüglichen Angaben repräsentativ sein.

Résumé

Si l'on veut tenir compte des effets non-adiabatiques sur les processus atmosphériques, il est indispensable de connaître la répartition spatiotemporelle du bilan radiatif dans l'atmosphère et le long de ses frontières. Tout comme pour les données synoptiques, les données relatives au rayonnement doivent être représentatives des grandeurs météorologiques mesurées.
