A nanoparticle-based coating developed at the University of California San Diego can convert more than 90 percent of captured ...

Earth is absorbing more heat as the gap between incoming solar energy and outgoing radiation grows, and a joint NASA-NOAA analysis found the planet’s energy imbalance has approximately doubled from ...

Scientists have recorded the highest levels of radiation from a solar storm at aviation altitude in decades, revealing potential threats to aircraft safety. A flare classified as most intense was ...

Norwegian researchers have developed a multi-pyranometer method to more accurately estimate global tilted irradiance (GTI) in the Arctic by separating beam, diffuse, and reflected solar components.

Clouds are important for Earth's energy balance because they interact with radiation in different ways. On one hand, low clouds reflect incoming solar radiation and thus cool Earth through a property ...

However, the underlying physical principles of solar irradiation still date back to the analog era, and the initial ...

It’s time to extend our understanding of weather and the atmosphere by beginning a look at the atmosphere and surface energy ...

Stearic acid is a fatty acid derived from nature. It acts as the phase-change material. When the sun hits the black ...

A new algorithm has been developed to simultaneously estimate multiple shortwave radiation components using data from China's Fengyun-3F satellite. This innovative approach significantly improves the ...
