Can air temperature be used to project influences of climate change on stream temperature? (2014, background): “With respect to the heat flux in streams changing climates, water uses, and land cover, many processes that modify the influence of solar radiation on stream temperatures have potential to change, including streamflow regimes (Jefferson 2011, Arismendi et al 2013, Safeeq et al 2013), the type and di”
The Influence of Climate Change on Global Crop Productivity1 (2012, background): ““Solar dimming” was also observed around the globe from 109 1950 to 1980, associated with increasing air pollution and aerosol loads (Wild, 2012).”
Global observations of aerosol‐cloud‐precipitation‐climate interactions (2014, background): “Distinct “dimming” and “brightening” trends are found in surface solar radiation for clear skies but less clearly for cloudy skies [Wild, 2005; Wild et al., 2009; Wild, 2012; Norris and Wild, 2007; Ruckstuhl et al., 2008].”
Decadal changes in radiative fluxes at land and ocean surfaces and their relevance for global warming (2016, background): “The brightening has been somewhat less coherent than the preceding dimming, with trend reversals at widespread locations, but still some regions with continued decrease, such as in India.1,32 Since AR5, new evidence for brightening based on direct observations has been documented at 13 sites in Spai”
