• Enlightening Global Dimming and Brightening (2012, background): “…3 to 9 W m−2, and from 1 to 4 W m−2 for the partial recovery during subsequent brightening (Stanhill and Moreshet 1992; Liepert et al. 1994; Abakumova et al. 1996; Gilgen et al. 1998; Stanhill and Cohen 2001; Alpert et al. 2005; Kvalevag and Myhre 2007; Kim and Ramanathan 2008; Wild 2009) (Fig.”
• Instrument calibration and aerosol optical depth validation of the China Aerosol Remote Sensing Network (2009, background): “It has been speculated that aerosol particles could contribute to global and regional dimming [ Stanhill and Cohen, 2001; Che et al., 2005] and change of regional precipitation [Menon et al., 2002].”
• Crop modelling for integrated assessment of risk to food production from climate change (2015, background): “Globally, the 1980's witnessed decreasing trends of solar radiation and alterations in the proportion of its' diffuse and direct components (Stanhill and Cohen, 2001).”
• Trends in aerosol radiative effects over Europe inferred from observed cloud cover, solar “dimming,” and solar “brightening” (2007, methodology): “…their distribution of negative and positive values matched those documented in earlier studies for specific stations, despite being computed over somewhat differing time periods [Abakumova et al., 1996; Liepert and Kukla, 1997; Stanhill, 1998; Stanhill and Cohen, 2001; Stanhill andMoreshet, 1994].”
• Effects of shading on morphology, physiology and grain yield of winter wheat (2010, background): “Thus, low light level is common for lower leaves, which are more shade tolerant (Stanhill and Cohen, 2001) and can use diffuse more efficiently than direct irradiance (Gu et al.”
• Solar radiation budget and radiative forcing due to aerosols and clouds (2008, background): “[2] Large reductions in solar radiation at the surface over multidecadal timescales have been reported by numerous studies [e.g., Stanhill and Cohen, 2001; Liepert, 2002; Ramanathan et al., 2005].”
• Global indirect aerosol effects: a review (2004, neutral): “Such a reduction has been observed in the industrial regions of the Northern Hemisphere (Gilgen et al., 1998; Liepert, 2002; Stanhill and Cohen, 2001; Wild et al., 2004a).”
• THE JOINT AEROSOL- MONSOON EXPERIMENT A New Challenge for Monsoon Climate Research (2008, background): “…biogenic emissions, volcanic eruption, and sea salt) and anthropogenic (fossil fuel and biofuel combustions and anthropogenic biomass burning) aerosols in space and time, and because of the long-range transport of fine aerosol particles, solar dimming is global in extent (Stanhill and Cohen 2001).”
• Impacts of climate change on the tree line. (2002, background): “There may be other contributing factors which are poorly understood: for example, the decrease in solar radiation as a result of increases in cloudiness or aerosols may be especially important at the tree line (Stanhill and Cohen, 2001).”
