Now its time to learn the basic input variables used in KRC.

:'''Thermal Inertia''': the reluctance of a material to change temperature

:'''Conductivity:''' how easily a material transports heat and energy through itself

:'''Density:''' the amount of mass, or matter, contained within a specific volume

:'''Specific Heat:''' the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a material

:'''Input parameters:''' values given by the user, used in calculations within the model

:'''Opacity:''' the translucence of a material

:'''Albedo:''' the brightness of a material

:'''Emissivity:''' the energy given off by a material

:'''Slope:''' angle of incline of a surface above or below horizontal

:'''Azimuth:''' direction of slope as measured starting from north and moving through east

:'''L<sub>S</sub> :''' The seasonal indicator. The Value used to distinguish the time of year. The time of year

:'''Pressure:'''

:'''Diurnal Temperature:''' Changes in temperatures that occur over the course of a day (i.e. daily temperatures).
== Advanced Terms and Definitions ==

:'''Single Layer Atmosphere:''' A thin atmosphere where, at any given time, the temperature is the same everywhere.  Even though temperature can vary with time, the entire atmosphere varies together.

:'''Two-Stream Delta-Eddington Model:''' Allows for two spectral regions in the atmosphere: solar and thermal

:'''Solar Radiation:'''  The energy reaching the surface from the sun itself

:'''Thermal Energy:''' The energy reaching the surface from emission of the atmosphere itself
