Remember that Q* = QH + Qe + Qg. A curious thing can be seen in these graphed data. Mirny's latent heat flux (Qe) is greater than the available radiation (Q*). The sensible heat flux (Qr) is also greater than Q* during Mirny's winter. Explain where this sensible and latent heat comes from when Q* is negative. (Hint: think about global circulation of energy).

Question

Remember that Q* = QH + Qe + Qg. A curious thing can be seen in these graphed data. Mirny's latent heat flux
(Qe) is greater than the available radiation (Q*). The sensible heat flux (Qr) is also greater than Q* during Mirny's winter. Explain where this sensible and latent heat comes from when Q* is negative. (Hint: think about global circulation of energy).
