The impact of solar variability on weather&climate and possible mechanisms

Session ID#: 79259

Session Description:
Although evidence from both modern observations and paleoclimate records support claims that solar activity is a significant driver of climate change on decadal and century timescales, there exists great controversy due to the lack of a generally accepted linking mechanism. Hypotheses for the solar activity as driver include the solar irradiance mechanism; the energetic particle precipitation - chemical mechanism; the solar wind – GEC - cloud mechanism; and the cosmic ray - ion-mediated nucleation mechanism. These are not mutually exclusive. At the same time, new observations, including those on the day-to-day timescale to decadal timescale, continue to providing support for the solar activity connection. The proposed session will combine new data analyses and numerical simulations to update the picture of the solar variability impact on weather and climate.
