Climatic changes in the last 200 years
... -- T up in oceans, by ~0.06 oC -- seems small, but recall large heat capacity of water (translates to a lot of energy stored in oceans– more than in atmosphere) ...

Solar & Volcanic Impacts on Tropospheric Climate
... • Solar UV and impact on stratospheric O3 (Haigh 1994) - solar cycle variation ~7% at 200nm (cf 0.08% in TSI) absorption by O3 stratospheric heating downward IR flux into troposphere dynamical impacts on troposphere changes in O3 ...

Factors Affecting Climate Change
... Example: Little Ice Age In the 16th and 17th century Europe experienced a cooling period. A combination of the above factors combined with volcanic activity have been used to explain the sudden change in climate. However, computer modeling suggests that each individual factor or even a combination o ...

The Role of Sunspots and Solar Winds in Climate Change
... believe that the number of spots on the sun cycles over time, reaching a peak—the socalled Solar Maximum—every 11 years or so. Some studies indicate that sunspot activity overall has doubled in the last century. The apparent result down here on Earth is that the sun glows brighter by about 0.1 perce ...
