Derive the energy balance equation for layer 2 of the model illustrated in problem 1D. Again, assuming approaches zero and has no effect on the other layers, deduce the temperature of layer 2 in terms of the emission temperature. This temperature is called the radiative skin temperature. It is the temperature of the very outer reaches of an atmosphere in radiative equilibrium.

Type your solution in the box below. Use "T_e" to indicate Te, and explicitly indicate any mathematical operations with the appropriate symbol (e.g. '+', '-', '*', '/', '^').
