figure 1
The relationship between the net solar radiation curve and the temperature curve is that as the tempurature rises during the day the the solor radiation curve rises also.
figure 2
Outgoing longwave and incoming longwave radiation have very similar patterens but at the same time different quantities. Outgoing radiation acts more like tempurature meaning that while the sun is not out the earth will give of radiation but will relese the most in the later afternoon at the peak tempurature.The outgoing will be at its lowest right before sunrise and highest in the late afternoon, later than incoming radiation. The incoming radiation will be at it's lowest amounts at night when the sunis down reaching zero because the source of the radiation is gone. Its maximum will be earlier in the afternoon then the outgoing because while it may be warmer later the angle of the sun to our location in more of the mid afternoon will be more direct then closer to sunset. Thge peak outgoing radiation is about 475 W m^-2.
figure 3
At night the outgoing radiation will occure while incoming radiation will drop to zero creating neagtive net radiation. During a winter on a pole you will find almost all negative net radiation due to almost no sunlight. While the opposite pole will experience huge amounts due to constant solor radiation.
