Experimental measurements of the downward infrared sky radiation in Kuwait

An experimental system is described for measuring the total hemispherical and spectrally resolved downward IR sky radiation and complementary weather data in Kuwait. The accuracy of the measurement system is discussed, and its use for evalauting the potential of the Kuwait sky as a heat sink for pas...

Zusammenfassung:	An experimental system is described for measuring the total hemispherical and spectrally resolved downward IR sky radiation and complementary weather data in Kuwait. The accuracy of the measurement system is discussed, and its use for evalauting the potential of the Kuwait sky as a heat sink for passive radiative cooling applications is presented.
