Global Dimming and Brightening Features during the First Decade of the 21st Century
Atmosphere, 2020 Downward surface solar radiation (SSR) trends for the first decade of the 2000s were computed using a radiative transfer model and satellite and reanalysis input data and were validated against measurements from the reference global station networks ...

Kalahari Wildfires Drive Continental Post-Fire Brightening in Sub-Saharan Africa
Remote Sensing, 2019 Fire can induce long-lived changes to land-surface albedo, an important aspect of the Earth’s energy budget, but the temporal evolution of these anomalies is poorly understood.

A Numerical Modeling Study on the Earth’s Surface Brightening Effect of Cirrus Thinning
AtmosphereCirrus thinning, as one kind of geoengineering approach, not only cools our planet but also enhances the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth’s surface (brightening effect). This study delves into the brightening effect induced by cirrus thinning with a

Reflection and structural characteristics of semi-bright and mirror bright nickel coatings [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2002 The reflection and structural characteristics of the nickel coatings obtained in the presence of a basic brightening addition agent only, and of both a basic and top brightening addition agent are examined. It is shown that the nickel coating obtained in
