Example 3: The Earths oceans have an albedo of approximately 6%. Given this value, calculate how much of the average incoming solar radiation (340 W/m2) is reflected back to space when striking an ocean surface: -2 Total reflected solar radiation = 6% of 340 Wm Total reflected solar radiation = (6 ÷ 100) x 340 Wm-2 Total reflected radiation = (0.06) x 340 Wm-2 Total reflected solar radiation = 20.40 Wm-2 Use Example 3 to solve questions 17-18:
