The contradiction between observed and modeled data on the radiation balance/ albedo relationship has been confirmed by numerous publications on this subject (Heinrich and Hinzpeter, 1975). Some data reveal a decrease in outgoing longwave radiation by about 2.0 W m 2 over the period March 2000 February 2004, which is
