The Earth radiation balance as driver of the global hydrological cycle
Description: In this journal article scientists emphasize the prominent role of the surface radiation balance as a key determinant of the intensity of the global hydrological cycle. They point to the inadequate representation of surface solar dimming and brightening as a potential cause of climate model deficiencies. Improved knowledge of the surface radiation balance are therefore key to understanding past, present and future variations in the intensity of the hydrological cycle.
