Editing Top-of-atmosphere radiative imbalance (section)

== Boundary Conditions ==
Boundary inclusions encompass all radiative fluxes measured at the top of the atmosphere, including absorbed solar radiation, reflected solar radiation, and emitted terrestrial radiation. The signal includes global spatial coverage and periodic temporal measurements capturing diurnal and seasonal variations. Boundary exclusions involve radiative fluxes measured within the lower atmosphere or at Earth's surface, as well as localized radiative effects not contributing to the net planetary energy balance. Non-radiative energy transfers such as latent and sensible heat fluxes are also excluded.
