The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Satellite-based estimate of the direct and indirect aerosol climate forcing (2008, background): “The impossibility to uniquely distinguish cloudy and clear skies [Haywood et al., 1997; Charlson et al., 2007; Koren et al., 2007] and inaccuracies in the satellite retrievals neglecting ‘‘3D’’ cloud effects on radiation [Wen et al., 2007] may play important roles as well.”
MODIS observations of enhanced clear sky reflectance near clouds (2009, background): “Near shadowy cloud sides this effect dominates only farther away from clouds, because shadowing dominates closer to clouds; thus the enhancement is smaller near thicker clouds and may even have a negative sign [Wen et al., 2007].”
A simple model for the cloud adjacency effect and the apparent bluing of aerosols near clouds (2008, background): “In addition, Figure 6 shows asymptotic values (marked as ovals in Figure 6 (top)) corresponding to the enhancements at the largest distances from cloud edges [see Wen et al., 2007, Figure 7].”
