The universe can be utilized as a sink for heat pum** by means of passive radiative
cooling (PRC). This approach is an age-old cooling practice that has had a renaissance with …

Passive radiative coolers can preserve the surface temperature below ambient by
simultaneously reflecting incoming solar radiation and emitting thermal radiation to the sky …

Based on a CCD camera, we have developed an in-house sky imager system for the
purpose of cloud cover estimation and characterization. The system captures a multispectral …

An all-sky imaging system is deployed to estimate the effect of clouds on incident solar
irradiance, for a 2-year period over the city of Thessaloniki, Greece. The minutely cloud …

Observations and models indicate that human activity is altering cloud patterns on a global
scale. Clouds impact incident visible and infrared radiation during both day and night …

Develo** energy-efficient ventilation and air-conditioning (VAC) strategies is pivotal for
achieving green buildings' triple merits of high indoor air quality (IAQ), low CO 2 emission …

While numerous algorithms exist for predicting incident atmospheric long‐wave radiation
under clear (Lclr) and cloudy skies, few comparisons have been published to assess the …

Forest cover modifies snow accumulation and ablation rates via canopy interception and
changes in sub-canopy energy balance processes. However, the ways in which snowpacks …

Downward longwave radiation (LW↓) is a relevant variable for meteorological and climatic
studies. Good estimates of this term are vitally important in correct determining of the net …

The Andean Altiplano is a vast plateau lying at an average altitude of 4000m above sea
level, between Bolivia and Peru, and prone to radiative frost during the crop** season …
