The problem is to determine how much of the radiation is concentrated in each band. Figure 6 is an adaptation of a graph presented on page 105 of The Oceans (191+2) showing the distribution of the energy spectrum at the surface of the radiation from sun and sky, plotted a*- a function of wave length. Taking + micron as the lower end of the red band and measuring the area under the curve, one arrives at a fig- ure of 61+03$ for the red and $ for. .4 .6 .8 WAVE LENGTH IN MICRONS figure e. energy spectrum of radiation from the remaining bands. It was decided SUN AND SKY AT THE SURFACE. to use the curve for the green band as representative of the re- maining $• By starting with the total absorbed heat of 3,339 g. cal. cin7<- it now can be determined that 2,11+7 g. cal. cm?2 were absorbed from the red band and 1,192 g. cal. cmr2 were absorbed from all other bands. By using these figures in conjunction with the appropriate curve in figure $, table V was constructed, showing the amounts absorbed from each band in each layer. The total number of g. cal. cni72 absorbed in each layer for all bands 25.
