Global dimming and brightening: A review
M Wild - Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
There is increasing evidence that the amount of solar radiation incident at the Earth's surface
is not stable over the years but undergoes significant decadal variations. Here I review the …
