Dr Margi Böhm from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) describes how energy radiates and refracts through Earth's atmosphere. This is part of a series of videos on how energy interacts with Earth's atmosphere.

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'Unit 2 Earth processes – energy transfers and transformations.' 

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors: 
The net transfer of solar energy to Earth’s surface is influenced by its passage through the atmosphere, including impeded transfer of ultraviolet radiation to Earth’s surface due to its interaction with atmospheric ozone, and by the physical characteristics of Earth’s surface, including albedo (ACSES048)
