Snowglow—The Amplification of Skyglow by Snow and Clouds Can Exceed Full Moon Illuminance in Suburban Areas [PDF]
Journal of Imaging, 2019 Artificial skyglow, the fraction of artificial light at night that is emitted upwards from Earth and subsequently scattered back within the atmosphere, depends on atmospheric conditions but also on the ground albedo.

Worldwide variations in artificial skyglow [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 Despite constituting a widespread and significant environmental change, understanding of artificial nighttime skyglow is extremely limited. Until now, published monitoring studies have been local or regional in scope, and typically of short duration.

On the Origin of STEVE: Particle Precipitation or Ionospheric Skyglow? [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 One of the recent developments in ionospheric research was the introduction of a subauroral spectacle called STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement).

Artificial skyglow disrupts celestial migration at night. [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 Torres et al. demonstrate that artificial skyglow disrupts nightly migrations undertaken by the amphipod Talitrus saltator, which is normally guided by the sky position of the moon.

Insect communities under skyglow: diffuse night-time illuminance induces spatio-temporal shifts in movement and predation. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2023 Artificial light at night (ALAN) is predicted to have far-reaching consequences for natural ecosystems given its influence on organismal physiology and behaviour, species interactions and community composition.

Night-Time Skyglow Dynamics during the COVID-19 Epidemic in Guangbutun Region of Wuhan City
Remote Sensing, 2022 The COVID-19 epidemic lockdown has a direct influence on urban socioeconomic activity, including night-time light (NTL) changes. Night-time skyglow, a form of light pollution caused by NTL, is also affected by public emergencies. Here we investigated the

Skyglow: Towards a Night-time Illumination Model for Urban Environments [PDF]
Eurographics, 2016 For night-time scenes in computer graphics there exist few consistent models or implementations for sky illumination, and those that do exist lack the feature of light pollution from artificial light sources.

Skyglow inside your eyes: intraocular scattering and artificial brightness of the night sky [PDF]
International Journal of Sustainable Lighting, 2022 The visual perception of the natural night sky in many places of the world is strongly disturbed by anthropogenic light. Part of this artificial light is scattered in the atmosphere and propagates towards the observer, adding to the natural brightness ...

Remote Sensing, 2020 Artificial skyglow, the brightening of the night sky by artificial light at night that is scattered back to Earth within the atmosphere, is detrimental to astronomical observations and has an impact on ecosystems as a form of light pollution.
