The multi-parameter regressions (AMOUNTS) ( Hauchecorne et al., 1991; Keckhut et al., 1995) To evaluate temperature trends and variability (for data and model outputs): It is necessary to parametrize the variability: T(t) = m + St + ATrend + BSolar + CQBO + DENSO + EAO + Nt The A, B, C, D, E terms represent the amplitude of trends / factors of variability; (! Volcanic eruptions) The residuals (AR(1)) include all the variability not considered in the parametrization. The analysis of the residual terms : model inadequacies the degree of confidence of the analysis

Response to solar cycle at low latitudes, photochemical response at high and mid- latitudes, negative response with a strong seasonal dependence Role of the dynamics?
Mechanistic simulations of the atmospheric solar response Response depends on Planetary Waves activity Response is highly non-linear Clim*1.5 Clim*1.8 Clim*2.2 3D Rose/Reprobus model at SA Hampson et al., 2005
Solar cycle/ conclusions Equatorial response close to the photochemical response (1-2 K) Negative response at mid and high latitudes with a strong seasonal effect The solar response is strongly related to wave activity
Concerning the future… - a new Phd student should work on trends from September 2006 on: methodology, temperature satellite retrievals, and trend updates. - Europeen project Geomon (IP, P.K. coordinator deputy): ground- satellite synergy for trend estimates (can be seen as a european contribution to SPARC). - work on solar influence on the low stratosphere: observations ( FUB, MSU4, SSU) + Rose-Reprobus simulations. - study of the solar influence using LMDz-Reprobus including an interactive chemistry (a 20 years run is available) + extension to the mesosphere.
