Net radiation (NET R) refers to the balance of all radiation incoming and outgoing at Earth's surface. It is the difference between the incoming radiation (usually from the sun) and the outgoing radiation (usually from the Earth's surface). If the incoming radiation exceeds the outgoing radiation, the net radiation is positive and the surface will warm. Conversely, if the outgoing radiation exceeds the incoming radiation, the net radiation is negative and the surface will cool.
