Radiative energy refers to the energy that is emitted or transmitted through various forms of radiation, such as light or heat. It is a type of energy that travels in waves or particles called photons.
Radiative energy is responsible for providing light, warmth, and energy to different objects or systems. It is commonly produced by sources like the sun, fire, or light bulbs, and can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted by different materials it encounters.
Full definition
As a pretty poor example photosynthesis will lock
in radiative energy from sunlight, the energy hasn't been lost it just isn't radiative anymore.
A study discovered weaknesses in the accuracy of satellite - based data sets, which can be improved to obtain more accurate information about the surface
radiative energy budget in the region.

They include also the significant influence of CO2
on radiative energy transfer in the atmosphere.
Higher absolute temperatures meant that there was also
more radiative energy transferred to the atmosphere.
In an atmosphere open to the sky as opposed to a container in a laboratory a density change is forced by the absorption
of radiative energy by the GHG molecules.
Whereas the added opacity will act to restrict the flow of
radiative energy transport, convection will not allow the temperature gradient to increase.
Proponents claim reflection / re-radiation is the radiative equivalent to conductive insulation, then proceed to increase a bodies
radiative energy from this radiative «insulation».
Karlsson (2017), An intercomparison and validation of satellite - based surface
radiative energy flux estimates over the Arctic, J. Geophys.
where is the vertically integrated energy flux in the atmosphere, is the
net radiative energy input to an atmospheric column (the difference between absorbed shortwave radiation and emitted longwave radiation), and is the oceanic energy uptake at the surface.
As a second - ascent giant brightens, the star's outer gas layers become unstable, and it may begin to «valve» its
outgoing radiative energy by pulsating which also changes its brightness.
The parameterization of the interactions are at all levels; from estimation of the geometric characterization of the aerosols, to the numbers of particles, to connections with several important aspects of clouds, and finally to the interactions
with radiative energy transport.
The resulting reduction in
radiative energy at Earth's surface may have attenuated evaporation and its energy equivalent, the latent heat flux (LH), leading to a slowdown of the water cycle.
Or, the difference between the worst case IPCC scenario and the best conceivable «alternative scenario» by 2050 is only about 1 W / m2 mean
radiative energy imbalance.
It couldn't be quite as fast as on a planet with no atmosphere because there would also be
non radiative energy exchanges between the GHGs and the ground via conduction and convection.
Such large LHF increases are generally not realizable,
because radiative energy flux changes are needed to evaporate the excess water.
Specifically, are the processes related to thermal matters such as increases in the air and water temperatures,
increased radiative energy deposition onto the surfaces of the ice field, or others, or are they more related to structural issues?
Water vapour is lighter than air once formed by the acquisition of the latent heat of evaporation so no
additional radiative energy needs to be acquired to enable it to rise within the Earth's gravitational field.
Moving into the third dimension is a bit confusing as the advection of tropical heat when «enhanced» with added
atmospheric radiative energy convects to a higher altitude and requires an in - rush / updraft of more surface air / wv content, inessence, chilling the surface (to close to its original temp., though with a higher salinity) and increasing the specific humidity at altitude over the ocean.
Large portion of the sunlight
radiative energy reaching Earth is being absorbed by the plants and stored as chemical energy in organic compounds.
When you change the conditions of
radiative energy coming in, the temperature of the CO2 will need to adjust in order to radiate it away.
