DOI: 10.1016/j.uclim.2020.100589
Abstract: Abstract During clear weather conditions the main part of the shortwave irradiance derives from sun direct-beam radiation. However, part of the shortwave radiation also originates from all-sky diffuse radiation (D), with a large part being… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl089221
Abstract: Estimates of global top‐of‐atmosphere radiation on monthly, seasonal, annual, and longer time‐scales require estimates of the diurnal variability in both insolation and surface and atmospheric reflection. We compare Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) and National… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41561-019-0528-y
Abstract: The amount of solar (shortwave) radiation that reaches the Earth’s surface underwent substantial variations over recent decades. Since the 1950s, surface shortwave radiation gradually decreased at widespread locations. In Europe, this so-called surface dimming continued… read more here.

Annual Dynamics of Shortwave Radiation as Consequence of Smoothing of Previously Plowed and Harrowed Soils in Poland

DOI: 10.1175/jamc-d-16-0126.1
Abstract: AbstractSmoothing a rough, deeply plowed soil increases its albedo, which determines a lower amount of shortwave radiation absorbed by its surface layer. That surface emits less longwave radiation, leading to a reduction in its temperature,… read more here.
