Abstract
A dynamic controllable systemfor moderating energy absorption at the earth's surface includes a series of panel unitsmounted above the earth's surface over land and water masses. Each panel unitsupports rotatable shafts, with panelsjoined to or integrally formed with the shafts. Each panel (forcing)has a radiation reflective surfaceand a radiation emissive surfaceopposite the radiation reflective surface. The panelsare selectively rotated into a predetermined one of a plurality of cardinal positions: reflective, emissive and neutral, or into an intermediate position between two of the cardinal positions. The programmable controllerreceives various data including top of atmosphere satellite data, air temperature and relative humidity at panel units, weather data, time of day, position of panel units, radiation insolation, and combinations thereof. Responsive to real-time data, both local and regional, the programmable controller directs rotational orientation of panels within the panel units, causing a desired reflection of shortwave and longwave radiation away from the earth's surface.
