A History of Solar Activity over Millennia
نویسنده
چکیده
Presented here is a review of present knowledge of the long-term behavior of solar activity on a multi-millennial timescale, as reconstructed using the indirect proxy method. The concept of solar activity is discussed along with an overview of the special indices used to quantify different aspects of variable solar activity, with special emphasis upon sunspot

Grand minima and maxima of solar activity: New observational constraints
Aims. Using a reconstruction of sunspot numbers stretching over multiple millennia, we analyze the statistics of the occurrence of grand minima and maxima and set new observational constraints on long-term solar and stellar dynamo models. Methods. We present an updated reconstruction of sunspot number over multiple millennia, from C data by means of a physics-based model, using an updated model...
متن کاملStellar luminosity variations and global warming.
Recent studies indicate that variation in the sun's luminosity is less than that observed in many other stars of similar magnetic activity. Current findings also indicate that in more active stars, the attenuation by faculae of sunspot luminosity modulation is less effective than in the sun at present. The sun could thus become photometrically more variable (and dimmer) if its magnetic activity...
متن کامل9,400 years of cosmic radiation and solar activity from ice cores and tree rings.
Understanding the temporal variation of cosmic radiation and solar activity during the Holocene is essential for studies of the solar-terrestrial relationship. Cosmic-ray produced radionuclides, such as (10)Be and (14)C which are stored in polar ice cores and tree rings, offer the unique opportunity to reconstruct the history of cosmic radiation and solar activity over many millennia. Although ...
متن کامل" I Am Fairly Skeptical about a New Maunder Minimum "
“Solar Activity” is a rather vague term. Thanks to cosmogenic isotopes we have some “visions” of “solar activity” in recent millennia (Usoskin, 2013). The most striking of these “visions” of solar activity is that the Sun may be in a “normal” state, or in two states named grand solar maximum or minimum (Usoskin et al., 2014). Obviously, we think that if the Sun is in a state of grand maximum (m...
متن کاملGlobal Climate Responses to Land Use and Land Cover Changes Over the Past Two Millennia
A reconstructed land use/land cover change (LUCC) dataset was used with the Community Earth System Model (CESM) to conduct a climate sensitivity analysis over the past two millennia. Compared to a controlled experiment conducted with the CESM, the LUCC showed significant biogeophysical effects on global climate on multi-decadal to centennial time scales. The global annual mean temperature and p...
