Estimated solar contribution to the global surface warming using the ACRIM TSI satellite composite
نویسندگان
چکیده
[1] We study, by using a wavelet decomposition methodology, the solar signature on global surface temperature data using the ACRIM total solar irradiance satellite composite by Willson and Mordvinov. These data present a +0.047%/decade trend between minima during solar cycles 21–23 (1980–2002). We estimate that the ACRIM upward trend might have minimally contributed 10–30% of the global surface temperature warming over the period 1980–2002. Citation: Scafetta, N., and B. J.

Reply to comment by J. L. Lean on ‘‘Estimated solar contribution to the global surface warming using the ACRIM TSI satellite composite’’
[1] We thank Lean and hope our reply clarifies any ambiguities in our original paper [Scafetta and West, 2005]. [2] Lean [2006] (hereinafter referred to as Lean) stresses that our finding (that the Sun contributed at least 10–30% of the 0.40 ± 0.04 K global surface warming) depends crucially on the adoption of ACRIM total solar irradiance (TSI) composite [Willson and Mordvinov, 2003], instead o...
متن کاملEmpirical analysis of the solar contribution to global mean air surface temperature change
The solar contribution to global mean air surface temperature change is analyzed by using an empirical bi-scale climate model characterized by both fast and slow characteristic time responses to solar forcing: t1 1⁄4 0:470:1yr and t2 1⁄4 872yr or t2 1⁄4 1273yr. Since 1980 the solar contribution to climate change is uncertain because of the severe uncertainty of the total solar irradiance satell...
متن کاملACRIM total solar irradiance satellite composite validation versus TSI proxy models
The satellite total solar irradiance (TSI) database provides a valuable record for investigating models of solar variation used to interpret climate changes. The 35year ACRIM total solar irradiance (TSI) satellite composite time series has been revised using algorithm updates based on 13 years of accumulated mission experience and corrections to ACRIMSAT/ACRIM3 results for scattering and diffra...
متن کاملACRIM-gap and TSI trend issue resolved using a surface magnetic flux TSI proxy model
The ACRIM-gap (1989.5-1991.75) continuity dilemma for satellite TSI observations is resolved by bridging the satellite TSI monitoring gap between ACRIM1 and ACRIM2 results with TSI derived from Krivova’s [2007] proxy model based on variations of the surface distribution of solar magnetic flux. ‘Mixed’ versions of ACRIM and PMOD TSI composites are constructed with their composites’ original valu...
متن کاملPhenomenological reconstructions of the solar signature in the Northern Hemisphere surface temperature records since 1600
[1] A phenomenological thermodynamic model is adopted to estimate the relative contribution of the solar-induced versus anthropogenic-added climate forcing during the industrial era. We compare different preindustrial temperature and solar data reconstruction scenarios since 1610. We argue that a realistic climate scenario is the one described by a large preindustrial secular variability (as th...
