A Perspective on Global Dimming and Brightening Worldwide and in China: link.springer.com/article/10.1 -> Amount of #sunlight at Earth's surface shows long-term shifts tied to pollution: spacedaily.com/reports/Amount_

SpringerLinkA Perspective on Global Dimming and Brightening Worldwide and in China - Advances in Atmospheric SciencesWorldwide radiation records suggest that the amount of sunlight received at the Earth’s surface (surface solar radiation, SSR) has not been stable over the years, but underwent significant decadal variations, popularly also known as “global dimming and brightening”. These variations have been particularly evident in China, where the SSR substantially declined from the 1960s to the 1990s (dimming), with indications for a trend reversal in the 2000s and a slight recovery (brightening) in recent years. This perspective/review paper will discuss recent updates and remaining challenges regarding our knowledge of the magnitudes, causes, and implications of these variations in SSR worldwide, with a particular emphasis on the developments in China.
