What is the best method to calculate the solar wind propagation delay? [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 We present a statistical study of propagation times of solar wind discontinuities between Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft orbiting the L1 libration point and the Cluster quartet of spacecraft near the Earth's magnetopause.

On the optimum orientation of solar collectors
International Journal of Energy Research, 1977 A simple model of atmospheric absorption and scattering, incorporating only three parameters, has been used to fit meteorological data for direct and diffuse radiation and hours of sunshine at latitude 55°N, longitude 6°W. Using this fit for insolation on a horizontal plane, annual and monthly figures for insolation on an inclined plane have been ...

Adaptive and Highly Efficient Thermoregulation Based on Multi-Dimensional Janus Film. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)A switchable TiO2/MXene/PDMS Janus membrane enables dual‐mode radiative cooling and solar heating, achieving sub‐ambient cooling of 17.89°C and above‐ambient heating of 13.82°C. Adaptive temperature regulation was demonstrated with a low power integrated autonomous smart curtain system, providing a sustainable and energy‐efficient alternative for ...

Layer-oriented adaptive optics for solar telescopes [PDF]
Applied Optics, 2012 First multi-conjugate adaptive-optical (MCAO) systems are currently being installed on solar telescopes. The aim of these systems is to increase the corrected field-of-view with respect to conventional adaptive optics. However, this first generation is based on a star-oriented approach, and it is then difficult to increase the size of the field-of-view
