Solar Forcing of Regional Climate Change During the Maunder Minimum
@article{Shindell2001SolarFO, title={Solar Forcing of Regional Climate Change During the Maunder Minimum}, author={D. Shindell and G. Schmidt and M. E. Mann and D. Rind and A. Waple}, journal={Science}, year={2001}, volume={294}, pages={2149 - 2152} }
We examine the climate response to solar irradiance changes between the late 17th-century Maunder Minimum and the late 18th century. Global average temperature changes are small (about 0.3° to 0.4°C) in both a climate model and empirical reconstructions. However, regional temperature changes are quite large. In the model, these occur primarily through a forced shift toward the low index state of the Arctic Oscillation/North Atlantic Oscillation as solar irradiance decreases. This leads to… CONTINUE READING
