VII/2 Solar irradiance provides energy to the earth system Turco 1997 SW heating UV/Vis/NIR LW cooling Thermal IR

VII/3 Solar irradiance at TOA: near UV/Vis/IR Weber et al., 1998, Weber 1999 Skupin et al., MAR-2004 Ca II HH

VII/4 MgII h and k emission Fraunhofer lines: wing: absorption originating in the photosphere (T~6000K) core: emission, originating in the chromophere/transition region Rottmann et al., 2005

VII/5 Mg II index chromospheric activity index from GOME UV solar activity proxy from core-to-wing ratio of Mg II line  insensitive to optical degradation  linearly correlates well with UV and EUV wavelength variations down to 30 nm (Viereck et al. 2001)

VII/6 Solar UV irradiance variability  Mg II index is a suitable proxy for modelling solar UV and EUV variability (Viereck et al. 2001)  suitable proxy for modelling UV irradiance in climate models and for TSI reconstruction (Fröhlich et al. 2004)

VII/7 Origin of solar irradiance variability variations in received solar UV irradiance are caused by the emergence and decay of active regions as they transit the solar disk. Active regions contain enhanced:  UV brightness (photospheric faculae and chromspheric plages)  localized enhanced magnetic fields Solar UV/vis radiation originates  upper photosphere  chromosphere  transition region Fox, 2004

VII/10 The magnetic flux at the solar surface also varies quasi-periodically over the 11-year solar cycle. Maximum Maximum Magnetic flux Minimum X-rays The short-wave radiation varies strongly through the activity cycle: from a factor 2 in the UV (<100nm) up to a factor 100 in X-rays. The solar activity cycle

VII/13 Total solar irradiance from space („solar constant“) CGD, NCAR PMOD TSI 0.1% Froehlich, priv. comm.

VII/14 „solar constant“ TSI composite time series from satellite observations Froehlich, priv. communication

VII/15 Modelled TSI contribution UV (<400 nm) contributes 8% to TSI 60% of TSI variability comes from the UV (<400 nm) Lean et al. (1997) estimated abt. 30% contribution from nm varibility to that of TSI (from SOLSTICE observations) Krivova et al nm 50 nm 100 nm ≈60% ≈8%

VII/16 Contribution to TSI variability Lean et al., 1997

VII/17 Solar indices Various solar indices show variation with the 11 year solar cycle and 27 d solar rotation (full disc)  UV brightening competing with sunspot darkening (VIS) Mg index starts in 1978 F10.8 since the early 1900s Sunspots counts since 1700s 122 nm

(2006)  Increase in NH total ozone since mid nineties  increase in BD circulation strength  rise of solar cycle 23  return to stratospheric aerosol background conditions after Pinatubo eruption

VII/26 Global ozone trends and solar cycle variability WMO 2006, Chapter 3

VII/27 Global ozone trends and solar cycle variability WMO 2006, Chapter 3 Models do not show the double peak (25 and 50 km altitude)  Possible reasons  Data record too short (~2.5 solar cycles)  NOx from particle (electron precipitation) leads to ozone destruction during solar minimum in middle stratosphere -> BUT: equires „huge“ amounts of Nox  Reduced ozone production (less sunlight) in middle stratosphere from enhanced ozone in the upper stratosphere  Interference from QBO and other dynamical effects  Lower stratospheric solar signature are probbaly from dynamical response to solar variability
