This study used downward longwave (LW) radiation measurements, air temperature (T), particulate matter (PM) concentrations of fine (PM 2.5 ) and coarse (PM 10 ) particles, aerosol optical depth (AOD), wind speed (WS), and precipitable water vapor (PWV) data from Riyadh, an arid site in central Saudi...
