Jason was part of team that had to calculate the incoming solar radiation and outgoing terrestrial infrared radiation. What did Jason's team study? Jason's team studied the (blank), which measures incoming solar radiation and outgoing terrestrial infrared radiation.

The right answer is Radiation balance.

Earth's radiation budget provides an inventory of the energy received and lost by the Earth's climate system, soil-atmosphere-oceans. The energy input comes mainly from the Sun, the one produced in the center of the Earth representing only 0.01% of the total energy received by the surface of the Earth.
