Radiation and turbulent fluxes dominate the surface energy balance.
On the surface, energy efficiency is something with which both Obama and Romney can agree.
In the rare instances of a leak to the surface, energy companies alert and voluntarily evacuate residents while the safety of the site is evaluated.

Most scientists on both sides agree we are near the half precession point and solar energy at the earth surface in high summer at 65N is declining.

There is broad support within the Council and the business and labor communities for investing in our nation's aviation, broadband, surface and energy systems, including improving existing financing mechanisms for our critical infrastructure needs.
This decreased level of reflectivity, or albedo, allowed the surface to absorb more energy from the Sun.

Hot springs are perhaps the most recognizable signs of geothermal energy stored under the Earth's surface in any specific area.
Geothermal systems gather energy present beneath the earth's surface, where the temperature averages 55 degrees (higher in Texas, lower in North Dakota), and concentrate it to provide space heating.
The scientists turned lithium-ion battery materials, such as copper, into a sprayable liquid form, which can be applied to any surface and turn it into an energy storage device.
FORBES: Soon We Might Spray-Paint Batteries Onto Any Surface
"When you replace soil and grass with concrete and asphalt, you alter the balance of energy that occurs at the earth's surface, " says Dr. Robert Bornstein, a professor of meteorology at San Jose State University in California.
The firm said the construction phase would create hundreds of new jobs while the surface mine site could be tapped for geothermal energy to provide heating and cooling for the homes.
By simply piercing the surface of the water, you set off an energy force within the body of water that extends outward, impacting anything it touches.
Supercapacitors have a big internal surface-area that allows a large amount of energy to be delivered rapidly and are used in some electric cars to provide a short burst of power for rapid acceleration and in hybrids to recover energy during braking.
Whale bones for example are known to constitute an excellent surface on which benthic communities deprived of local sources of energy can settle and develop.
Land use changes matter because different types of surface strongly affect the atmospheric distribution of the Sun's energy.
Duncan MacKay, a local marine-energy consultant, says that if all the energy companies' plans come to fruition, something like 500 seabed and surface turbines will be installed within 18 miles of Thurso over the next decade.
This energy source remains largely untapped, though, simmering either too far below the surface to reach, or isolated from water that could carry it up.
After all, it seems pretty logical that they should be enhanced by global warming, as the thermal source that they convert to destructive kinetic energy is the heat of the ocean, which should go up with the surface temperature.

The result is a membrane surface that favors water molecules, leading to higher throughput and significantly reduced energy costs.
In a nutshell, inductive charging involves a surface that acts as the transmitter, with coils built-in underneath to transfer energy to a willing receiver.
However, earlier this month, researchers from Durham University's Energy Institute reported that fracking was not a significant source of tremors that can be felt on the surface, compared to many other human activities such as mining or filling reservoirs with water.

This instrument monitors high-energy radiation considered to be a health risk to astronauts and a factor in whether microbes could survive on Mars' surface.
