The shortwave to longwave ratio in contrail radiative forcing as evident in two radiation schemes used for global GCMs [PDF]
, 2013 Contrail radiative forcing is difficult to obtain, even if contrail parameters like coverage, ice water content, crystal size etc. are known. Respective results as documented in literature hint to a substantial uncertainty.

Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Cloud Opacity Variations from Nighttime Observations in Venus Transparency Windows
AtmosphereThe thick cloud layer enshrouding Venus influences its thermal balance and climate evolution. However, our knowledge of total optical depth, spatial and temporal variations in the clouds is limited.

Opacity: A Correctness Condition for Transactional Memory [PDF]
Transactional memory is perceived as an appealing alternative to critical sections for general purpose concurrent programming. Despite the large amount of recent work on transactional memory implementations, however, its actual specification has never ...

Implications of self-consistent H2O ice optical constants on radiative transfer models of disks
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Interstellar water (H2O) ice exhibits significantly varied profiles over its spectral features with temperature and thermal history. No previous radiative transfer model of a protoplanetary disk has fully accounted for these effects over the ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hybrid electro‐thermochromic smart windows are developed for dynamic climate control by integrating a redox‐matched black electrochromic gel with a paraffin‐based thermochromic film. This synergistic combination enables multimodal solar modulation, where photothermal heating from the electrochromic layer triggers thermochromic activation at lower ...

The impact of new-generation radiative opacities on evolutionary models of massive stars
openThe opacity of stellar matter plays a critical role in the structure and evolution of all types of stars, but it is also one of the main sources of uncertainties in stellar evolution computations.
