Short summary
A long-term analysis of aerosol radiative effects over the Iberian Peninsula is carried out. A reduction of aerosol effects on solar radiation at the surface is observed in the 2000s. Aerosol forcing efficiency is stronger for small and absorbing particles. The contributions of the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectral intervals to the total shortwave efficiency vary with the aerosol types, producing the visible range the dominant contribution for all aerosol types.
