1 In the climate system these forms of heat transfer are manifested in the motion of the atmosphere and ocean, on both local and global scales.  Radiation: The transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves. This form of energy transfer does not require the presence of matter to occur. In this form energy can travel through empty space from the Sun to the Earth and other planets in the solar system. Radiation also occurs within the climate system between the earth's surface and the atmosphere, and within the atmosphere and ocean.
The Sunâs energy has traveled across space as. electromagnetic radiation, and that is the form. in which it arrives on Earth. It is this radiation. that determines the effect of the Sunâs energy. on the Earth and its climate. Infrared radiation, radio waves, visible light, and ultraviolet rays. are all forms of electromagnetic radiation. One. of the best ways to understand the production. of this type of energy is to consider how it is. emitted by atoms, in particular the hydrogen. atom.
