英文摘要: Solar radiation changes (dimming/brightening) have recently received growing attention within the research community, although there is currently no generally accepted explanation. This article aims to provide a new perspective for identifying the reasons behind solar dimming/brightening by using long-term measurements of direct and diffuse solar radiation, unlike previous studies which have focused on global solar radiation. We postulate that extinction processes can be more readily revealed by direct and diffuse radiation measurements with the help of a modelling tool that treats the two components separately. An example is presented for Golmud and Lhasa in the northern and southern Tibetan Plateau (TP) respectively, over the period 1957–2013. The following is found: (a) ground-based observed cloud cover alone hardly explains the observed solar dimming at the two sites; (b) both the cloud-free direct radiation transmittivity (τ dir ) and diffuse radiation proportion (p dif ) declined; (c) variations in p dif are overwhelmingly dominated by variations in aerosols, while those in τ dir are related to variations in both aerosol and water vapour; (d) on top of the suggested reduced aerosol concentrations, decreased snow cover can partly explain declined diffuse radiation via lowered surface albedo; (e) the decline in τ dir can be partly attributed to the wetting atmosphere via strengthened absorption; and (f) the impact of volcanic eruptions was also identified from such radiative parameters, lasting into the following summer and especially strong in the southern TP. © 2018 Royal Meteorological Society Citation statistics:
