More intriguingly, it emits heat in the form of longwave infrared radiation into the icy universe, ... A solution-processed radiative cooling glass. Science, 2023; 382 (6671): ...

Paper titled “Scalable thermochromic smart windows with passive radiative cooling regulation”, published in Science, 17 December 2021. DOI: 10.1126/science.abg0291 ***END*** ...

This phenomenon is called radiational cooling and here on the First Coast, ... If there are clouds present, that longwave radiation will stay close to the ground modifying temperatures.

Clouds approximately double the reflection of shortwave radiation back to space (i.e. a cooling) and redirect about 20% more ... radiation channel and a total radiation channel. The longwave radiation ...

Yet radiative cooling has rarely been discussed as a potential tool for climate action, Raman said. Most researchers saw the phenomenon as an interesting physical fact with few practical applications.
