Homework Statement
Use the data in the energy balance diagram for the Earth shown below to determine numerical values for α, a and e. Assess your results by comparing them to the commonly used approximations α = 0.3, a = 0 and e = 1. Show your calculations.
Homework Equations
Look at the the screenshot that says equations and then the actual numbers for the energy balance model are in the second screenshot that says Energy numbers.
The Attempt at a Solution
I am just confused on which numbers I should plug into what to find the albedo, a, and e. I know F0/4 might be 341, but I am not sure how to correspond which number to which equation, etc.
