• Cosmic Rays and Climate (2005, background): “Although the observations are both disputed [16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21] and supported [22, 23, 24], increased GCR flux appears to be associated with increased low cloud cover.”
• SOLAR INFLUENCES ON CLIMATE (2010, background): “GCRs are so closely correlated with solar activity (see section 3.2.4) that observed variability in LCA correlates equally well with GCRs, TSI, or solar UV irradiances, and therefore, observed variations cannot be uniquely ascribed to a single mechanism [Kristjánsson et al., 2002].”
• Patterns of tropospheric response to solar variability (2003, unknown): “Svensmark and Friis-Christensen [1997] have suggested that low clouds are modulated by cosmic rays, whereas others [Kristjánsson et al., 2002] regard solar radiation as a more likely cause of the observed effects.”
• Solar activity and terrestrial climate: an analysis of some purported correlations (2003, unknown): “Lassen and Friis-Christensen (2000) and Thejll and Lassen (2000) o?er an update of these four values. Both articles base their updated values upon the two SCLs, which have been observed in the mean time supplemented by two predicted epochs. The two articles employ the same predicted values (see Fig.”
• The Role of Eddies in Driving the Tropospheric Response to Stratospheric Heating Perturbations (2009, background): “Lorenz and DeWeaver (2007) investigated whether the tropospheric response was more sensitive to changes in the height of the tropopause or changes in the meridional temperature gradient.”
