Ultra‐White Elastomeric Coatings for Daytime Radiative Cooling

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Passive daytime radiative cooling meets elasticity in a new class of ultra‐white silicone coatings. Combining high solar reflectance with strong sky‐window emission, they hold surfaces below ambient temperature under full sunlight while remaining flexible and stretchable. This combination of cooling performance and mechanical flexibility enables energy‐

Optimal Design of a Rain Gauge Network Models: Review Paper

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019
Abstract Improved streamflow forecasting is considered an important task for researchers and water resources managers. However, streamflow forecasting is often challenging owing to the complexity of hydrologic systems. The accuracy of streamflow forecasting mainly depends on the input data from rainfall.

Estimating continental and terrestrial precipitation averages from rain‐gauge networks [PDF]

International Journal of Climatology, 1994
AbstractInfluences of varying rain‐gauge networks on continental and terrestrial precipitation averages (derived from data observed on those networks) are evaluated. Unsystematically and systematically designed station networks are considered, the latter being represented by the NCAR World Monthly Surface Station Climatology, which contains hand‐picked

Self‐Sustaining Hybrid Passive Cooler Enabling Highly Effective Thermal Management for Outdoor Electronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An innovative hybrid passive cooler integrates a porous radiative coating and an atmospheric moisture‐harvesting hydrogel within a melamine sponge skeleton, synergizing radiative cooling, sensible‐heat absorption, and latent‐heat evaporation. It maintains an average 8.3°C sub‐ambient cooling under sunlight and a maximum ∼42.4°C drop under 2000 W·m−2 ...
