Solar Variability and Terrestrial Weather.
Abstract
The past four years have seen a growing interest in possible relationships between terrestrial weather and solar or solar wind variability. Most of the work in sunweather (and climate) studies have sought correlations on three time scales: (1) climate changes over hundreds to thousands of years, related to longer term variations in the solar putput, (2) climate changes correlated with the 22-year solar cycle, and (3) weather variations on the scale of a few days, in response to transient solar events. While it has not been conclusively shown that there is a sun-weather connection on any of these time scales, in each case there exists enough supporting evidence to suggest that further study is warranted.
