Thanks guys, solar gain is indeed affected by what the radiation hits. I was thinking in terms of energy when I typed. Even in the case of energy stored chemically through photosynthesis, there is no gain or loss in energy, just some stored for later release. Lee On 24/06/2011, at 9:58 AM,

I would also think that is the ground is covered in reflective snow would not the trees also be covered. That would be with evergreen treees. Deciduous trees would have no leaves so the snow effect would be the same. Also the initial absorbtion of sunlight on leaf surfaces would occur 30 meters in

Thanks Thomas for pointig this out! It is rather nonesence to say that trees have a warming effect! What about the natural low-pressure over forest-areas? Any Glider-pilot can tell about the thermic effect over grassland and so. Beside,walk thru a forest and feel the fresh and cool air! It seems

I would have thought that the solar gain on bare earth would have been the same as the solar gain when the trees are heated. The same sun and solar intensity has entered the same atmosphere. The same energy has arrived and must leave our planet by the same means, no matter where/what it hits.
