Seasonal variations of outgoing longwave radiation from satellite data

Based on observational data, we analyzed seasonal variations of the outgoing longwave radiation at the outer boundary of the atmosphere and air temperature near the Earth's surface. It has been shown that under quiet geomagnetic conditions, there is positive annual average correlation between the outgoing longwave radiation and near-surface temperature at latitudes higher than 30°. In the seasonal course, this dependence remains, with the exception of the winter period. At low latitudes, the outgoing longwave radiation correlates with the near-surface temperature above land, and over the oceans these characteristics are anticorrelated throughout the year.
