Variation of Solar Irradiance and Mode Frequencies during Maunder Minimum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the sunspot numbers reported during the Maunder minimum and the empirical relations between the mode frequencies and solar activity indices, the variations in the total solar irradiance and 10.7 cm radio flux for the period 1645 to 1715 is estimated. We find that the total solar irradiance and radio flux during the Maunder minimum decreased by 0.19% and 52% respectively, as compared to the values for solar cycle 22.

Reconstruction of solar spectral irradiance since the Maunder minimum
[1] Solar irradiance is the main external driver of the Earth’s climate. Whereas the total solar irradiance is the main source of energy input into the climate system, solar UV irradiance exerts control over chemical and physical processes in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. The time series of accurate irradiance measurements are, however, relatively short and limit the assessment of the solar con...

متن کاملEvolution of the Sun's Spectral Irradiance Since the Maunder Minimum
Because of the dependence of the Sun's irradiance on solar activity, reductions from contemporary levels are expected during the seventeenth century Maunder Minimum. New reconstructions of spectral irradiance are developed since 1600 with absolute scales traceable to spacebased observations. The long-term variations track the envelope of group sunspot numbers and have amplitudes consistent with...
متن کاملSunshine, Earthshine and Climate Change I. Origin Of, and Limits on Solar Variability
Changes in the earth’s climate depend on changes in the net sunlight reaching us. The net depends on the sun’s output and earth’s reflectance, or albedo. Here we develop the limits on the changes in the sun’s output in historical times based on the physics of the origin of solar cycle changes. Many have suggested that the sun’s output could have been 0.5% less during the Maunder minimum, wherea...
متن کاملSolar forcing of regional climate change during the Maunder Minimum.
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 degrees to 0.4 degrees 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 lo...
