Some items still missing:


  • what's the right value for the average emissivity (1 - reflectivity) - i.e. what fraction of incoming sunlight is reflected by the surface, rather than absorbed?
  • because of orbital dynamics the solar constant varies - what is the range and what effect does this have on temperatures (seasonality?)
  • how low does the temperature drop during eclipses of the sun by the Earth?
  • what is the actual night-time profile?
  • what is the actual depth profile?
