The lapse rate (despite the temperature inversions near the surface at night and in the winter polar regions) insures that the radiation of the air absorbed by the surface is slightly less than the radiation of the surface absorbed by the air.

Finds that the largest single determinant of the near - surface freshwater percentages is found to be changes in mixed layer depth — notably deep layers occurred in the winters of 2003, 2007 and 2008, due to northerly winds associated with El Niño / Southern Oscillation and the Southern Annular Mode

These take advantage of the remarkable stability of the earth's temperature near the surface and then use that as a source of heat in the winter when the air temperature is low and a source of cooling in the summer when the temperature is high.

During a dry winter, the reduction of aerosol concentrations in weekend days may overwhelmingly impact on the DTR through a direct effect, i.e. by increasing total solar irradiance near the surface and raising the daytime temperature and maximum temperature, and lowering relative humidity.

Irrigation also leads to boreal winter (December - February) warming over parts of North America and Asia in the latter part of the century, due to enhanced downward longwave fluxes from increased near surface humidity.
