  10. As this cartoon illustrates, with a dry upper troposphere, WV will radiate at the higher temperature (upper blue) of the boundary layer instead of the lower temperature of the UT (lower blue) – thereby increasing OLR (outgoing long-wave radiation). This is balanced by less IR emission from the surface in the atmospheric window (lower red), hence a cooler surface. OLR 10 20 Wave Length [microns]
