The Earth's climate system depends entirely on the Sun for its
energy. Solar radiation warms the atmosphere and is fundamental to
atmospheric composition, while the distribution of solar heating
across the planet produces global wind patterns and contributes to
the formation of clouds, storms, and rainfall. The Sun's Influence
on Climate provides an unparalleled introduction to this vitally
important relationship. This accessible primer covers the basic
properties of the Earth's climate system, the structure and
behavior of the Sun, and the absorption of solar radiation in the
atmosphere. It explains how solar activity varies and how these
variations affect the Earth's environment, from long-term
paleoclimate effects to century timescales in the context of
human-induced climate change, and from signals of the 11-year
sunspot cycle to the impacts of solar emissions on space weather in
our planet's upper atmosphere. Written by two of the leading
authorities on the subject, The Sun's Influence on Climate is an
essential primer for students and nonspecialists alike.
