An increasing trend in surface solar radiation (solar brightening) has been observed over Europe since the 1990s, linked to economic developments and air pollution regulations and their direct as well as cloud-mediated effects on radiation. Here, we find that the all-sky solar brightening trend (1990-2005) over Europe from seven out of eight models (historical simulations in the Fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project) scales well with the regional and global mean effective forcing by anthropogenic aerosols (idealized present-day minus preindustrial runs). The reason for this relationship is that models that simulate stronger forcing efficiencies and stronger radiative effects by aerosol-cloud interactions show both a stronger aerosol forcing and a stronger solar brightening. The all-sky solar brightening is the observable from measurements (4.060.60 W m(-2) decade(-1)), which then allows to infer a global mean total aerosol effective forcing at about -1.30 W m(-2) with standard deviation 0.40 W m(-2). Key Points Surface radiation trends in Europe scale with aerosol forcing in climate models All-sky surface solar radiation trends analyzed from GEBA stations Observed trend used as constraint on TOA total aerosol forcing
