TLDR
In this paper, two general circulation models (GCMs) with coupled stratospheric chemistry are used to simulate the impact of changes in solar output, showing that the difference between solar maximum and solar minimum for temperature and ozone are generally smaller than observed.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of this review article has evolved from work carried out by an international team of the International Space Science Institute (ISSI), Bern, Switzerland, and from work performed under the auspices of Scientific Committee on Solar Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP) regarding climate and weather of the Sun-Earth System (CAWSES).

Dynamical response to the solar cycle
Kunihiko Kodera,Yuhji Kuroda +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of the 11-year solar cycle on the stratopause region where solar ultraviolet heating is greatest and found that the most important variation in solar forcing longer than the diurnal cycle is the annual cycle.

TL;DR: In this article, an updated analysis of observed stratospheric temperature variability and trends is presented on the basis of satellite, radiosonde, and lidar observations, with some differences in detail among the different radiosonde and satellite data sets.

The effects of solar variability on the Earth's climate
TL;DR: Observational data and radiative forcing considerations and the results of energy-balance models and general circulation models suggest that the warming during the latter part of the 20th century cannot be ascribed entirely to solar effects, but chemical and dynamical processes in the middle atmosphere may act to amplify the solar impact.

Jenne,Dennis Joseph +21 more
TL;DR: The NCEP/NCAR 40-yr reanalysis uses a frozen state-of-the-art global data assimilation system and a database as complete as possible, except that the horizontal resolution is T62 (about 210 km) as discussed by the authors.

The Impact of Solar Variability on Climate
TL;DR: A general circulation model that simulated changes in solar irradiance and stratospheric ozone was used to investigate the response of the atmosphere to the 11-year solar activity cycle as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar cycle variability, ozone, and climate
TL;DR: The model reproduces many observed 11-year oscillations, including the relatively long record of geopotential height variations, and implies that these oscillations are likely driven, at least in part, by solar variability.

Detection and parameterization of variations in solar mid- and near-ultraviolet radiation (200-400 nm)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a newly developed UV sunspot darkening index and the Mg index facular proxy to replicate the rotational modulation detected in both the broadband Nimbus 7 filter data (275-360 nm and 300-410 nm) and in SOLSTICE 1-nm spectra from 200 to 400 nm.

Realistic quasi‐biennial oscillations in a simulation of the global climate
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of these missing waves are parametrized in a comprehensive numerical model of the atmosphere, and the simulation of the climate is improved by the generation of a realistic quasi-biennial oscillation in the stratosphere.
