Estimation of absorptivity of Earth-atmosphere system over the MENA areas
ME Sciences, Physics Department, Atmospheric Physic Team Faculty of Science, Mohammed 1st University, Oujda.
The developed Annual Columnar Radiative Absorptivity (ACRA19) model that describes, in annual mean, the terrestrial radiation balance of an atmospheric column, allows the determination of the various regional, absorption and reflection of solar and infrared radiation using 2018’s annual data of eight sites in MENA region ( between 22N-38N) of latitude obtained from AERONET and NASA POWER. The atmospheric thermal absorptivity (ATA) is very significant at high temperatures with an average of 0.85±0.1 for 1020 nm and the atmospheric visible absorptivity (AVA) registers 0.36 ± 0.06 when the total optical depth observes its maximum linked to dust aerosol advection.
