Physicists have achieved record temperature reductions of more than 40 °C
using radiative cooling, which beams heat through the atmosphere

It provides for the first time a high - fidelity technology demonstration of how you can
use radiative sky
cooling to passively
cool a fluid and, in doing so, connect it with
cooling systems to save electricity,» said Raman, who is co-lead author of the paper detailing this research, published in Nature Energy Sept. 4.
In the case of Concentrated Solar Power that
uses heliostats, one ought to be able to boost night time
cooling by providing a low brightness temperature surface (the mirrors) to enhance
radiative cooling, though the convective
cooling will still dominate.
I would argue that if we
use a simple
radiative model with a variety of assumptions, no upper atmosphere
cooling but only warming will occur with increased CO2 (see # 333), based on the
radiative transfer equations and the Second Law of thermodynamics, but when other complexities are introduced, this might change.
Sure, we can
use the
radiative balance explanation for warming and
cooling.
Between 801 and 1800 ce, the surface
cooling trend is qualitatively consistent with an independent synthesis of terrestrial temperature reconstructions, and with a sea surface temperature composite derived from an ensemble of climate model simulations
using best estimates of past external
radiative forcings.
