• Solar Influence on Global and Regional Climates (2012, unknown): “These have been reported as giving responses in cloud data, both ground-based (Veretenenko and Pudovkin 1997) and from satellites (Svensmark et al. 2009), in ‘‘compositing’’ analyses (also called ‘‘super-posed epoch’’ and ‘‘Chree’’ analysis).”
• Earth's energy imbalance and implications (2011, methodology): “Svensmark et al. (2009) suggest that solar activity may modulate terrestrial cloud cover. Studies by Calogovic et al. (2010) and Kumala et al. (2010) are not supportive. Cloud chamber experiments of Kirkby et al. (2011) find a small effect of cosmic rays on aerosol nucleation, which conceivably coul”
• SOLAR INFLUENCES ON CLIMATE (2010, unknown): “Using a superposed epoch (compositing) analysis of the largest of these events, Svensmark et al. (2009) have recently reported large (up to 7%) global cloud cover decreases, as detected by a number of satellites, following these Forbush decreases in GCR fluxes.”
• Modeling the formation and growth of atmospheric molecular clusters: A review (2020, background): “…that there is a direct link between cloud cover and cosmic rays, implying that ionic pathways might contribute to particle formation and growth processes (Enghoff & Svensmark, 2008; Marsh & Svensmark, 2000; Svensmark et al., 2009; Svensmark & Friis-Christensen, 1997; Svensmark et al., 2007).”
• Empirical evidence for a celestial origin of the climate oscillations and its implications (2010, background): “complex astronomical forcings nor complex feedback mechanisms that would amplify a solar input on climate, such as a cloud modulation via cosmic ray flux variation (Kirkby, 2007; Svensmark et al., 2009).”
