Аннотация: Outgoing long-wave radiation (OLR) has increased substantially over the period 1979 to 2016. In time series averaged for northern and southern mid-latitudes two abrupt, synchronous and statistically significant step-like shifts (1988 and 1997/8) are shown to have occurred with only one shift in the tropics (1997). The timing of thПоказать полностьюese events coincides with similar shifts recently described in a wide range of climate, Earth system and ecological time series. Surface temperature shows a very similar pattern of change to OLR in the northern mid-latitudes, but differs considerably in the southern mid-latitude belt. We demonstrate that low clouds are positively correlated with OLR and the reverse with medium and high clouds confirming that the growth in OLR can be explained via a reduction in cloud cover and atmospheric albedo
