RADIATIVE COOLING

Domain	Definition
Electrical Engineering	This method involves cooling of a massive body of water or masonry by exposure to a cool night sky. During the day, the mass is insulated from the outside air and acts as a heat sink for the living space. Source: European Union. (references)
Energy	The process of cooling by which a heat absorbing media absorbs heat from one source and radiates the heat away. (references)
Science	Cooling process of the Earth's surface and adjacent air, which occurs when infrared (heat) energy radiates from the surface of the Earth upward through the atmosphere into space. Air near the surface transfers its thermal energy to the nearby ground through conduction, so that radiative cooling lowers the temperature of both the surface and the lowest part of the atmosphere.

Specialty Definition: Radiative cooling

If a hot and a cold body are allowed to interact by exchaning thermal radiation, the hotter body will transfer its heat to the colder body until radiative equilibrium is achieved. If both bodies have the same radiation characteristics, they will eventually both have the same temperature.

Radiative cooling drives the large-scale circulation of the Earth's atmosphere, as the sun heats the Earth more in the Tropics. Earth loses heat by radiation to outer space at both equator and the poles (in fact, more at the equator, because its hotter there). However, there is still a heat imbalance, and so between equator and pole atmosphere and ocean transport sensible heat and latent heat polewards, partially via eddies, known as cyclones in the atmosphere. The process is dependant on an external heat source, the sun, and will continue as long as this source is maintained.
