JournalofGeophysicalResearch : Atmospheres Causes and importance of new particle formation in the present-day and preindustrial atmospheres (2017, unknown): “…atmosphere found that variations in the cosmic ray intensity typical of the solar cycle were very unlikely to produce significant variations in CCN concentrations [Pierce and Adams, 2009b; Snow-Kropla et al., 2011; Yu et al., 2012; Dunne et al., 2012; Kazil et al., 2012; Yu and Luo, 2014a].”
SOLAR INFLUENCES ON CLIMATE (2010, unknown): “4), though this effect has been shown in a climate model study to be much smaller than observed changes in clouds would suggest [Pierce and Adams, 2009].”
Solar Influence on Global and Regional Climates (2012, methodology): “Laschamp event (Nöel and Tarling, 1975) which at 40 kyr ago is the most recent and well 522 Surv Geophys (2012) 33:503–534”
Energetic Particle Influence on the Earth’s Atmosphere (2015, background): “Recently, attempts have been made to incorporate tropospheric ion induced nucleation into a global climate model (Kazil et al. 2006; Pierce and Adams 2009; Kazil et al. 2012).”
