Calculating the body
surface area of a dog is not practical however, and this is the reason why the quantitative evaluation of the metabolizable energy required by each individual dog (expressed as kilocalories of ME
per day) is based on another
more practical parameter, which however takes account of the body
surface area: the metabolic weight (MW).

Actually, though, most of the OLR originates from below the tropopause (can get up around 18 km in the tropics, generally lower)-- with a majority of solar radiation absorbed at the
surface, a crude approximation can be made that the
area emitting to space is less than 2 * (20/6371) * 100 % ~ = 0.628 %
more than the
area heated by the sun, so the OLR
per unit
area should be well within about 0.6 % of the value calculated without the Earth's curvature (I'm guessing it would actually be closer to if not less than 0.3 % different).
Although
more research is needed, there is some agreement among oceanographers that, for the entire

Well from a computational accuracy point of view, the measure of intensity is accurate to better than 1 % so long as you are
more than 10 emitting
surface diameters away from a non-point source; but the point is there is NO
per unit
area section in an Intensity specification; but there is in Radiance, or Spectral Radiance, which these graphs properly are, and also in «emittance» which is simply W / m ^ 2 without regard for directional properties, or wavelength or frequency properties, which would intorduce the spectral terms at least.
