Evidence for Clear-Sky Dimming and Brightening in Central Europe
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 For the explanation of the observed decadal variations in surface solar radiation (known as dimming and brightening), the relative importance of clouds and the cloud‐free atmosphere (particularly aerosols) is currently disputed. Here, we investigate this

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

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 ...

Fine structures and dynamics in auroral initial brightening at substorm onsets [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2009 We show four auroral initial brightening events at substorm onsets focusing on fine structures and their longitudinal dynamics, which were observed by all-sky TV cameras (30-Hz sampling) on January 2008, in Canada. For two initial brightenings started
