Listen "Mostly Weather: Earth's energy balance"
Episode Synopsis
Met Office scientists take a lively look at the fascinating history and science of weather and climate research.
Doug McNeall and Ayesha Tandon chat with Matt Palmer to talk about his paper Heat Stored in the Earth System: where does it go?
They discuss the Earth’s energy heat budget in which most energy is taken up (Ocean, land cryosphere), and the importance of the EEI number (Earth Energy Imbalance) which is a indicator of our changing climate and represents more of the Earths system than just global air temperature.
