Flux is an energy flow through a unit area over a unit time; hence the units of W m-2. As radiation interacts with matter at all atmospheric layers and surfaces, measuring, understanding, and modeling the spatial, temporal and spectral distribution of fluxes is important. Flux characterizes our climate and is represented as Up, Down, Net, TOA & Surface.
