The computed TSI is then compared with the PMOD composite of TSI measurements and with the data from two individual instruments, SORCE / TIM and UARS / ACRIM II, that monitored the TSI during
the declining phase of cycle 23 and over the previous minimum in 1996, respectively.
Aims.We present a reconstruction of total solar irradiance (TSI) back to 1974, i.e. from the minimum of cycle 21 to
the declining phase of cycle 23.

The correlation between the two quantities is 0.85 with p < 0.01 for the whole period studied.It could therefore be concluded that both the decreasing correlation between sunspot number and geomagnetic activity, and the deviation
of the global temperature long - term trend from solar activity as expressed by sunspot index are due to the increased number
of high - speed streams
of solar wind on the
declining phase and in the minimum

During that same period, average annual rainfall in New South Wales
declined by 3.6 inches (92 millimeters).3 Scientists think the
decline in autumn rainfall in southeast Australia since the late 1950s may be partly due to increases in heat - trapping gases in Earth's atmosphere.3, 14 Major bushfires over southeast Australia are linked to the positive
phase of an ocean
cycle called the «Indian Ocean Dipole» — when sea surface temperatures are warmer than average in the western Indian Ocean, likely in response to global warming.15, 16
Haigh et al. (2010) found that during the

Daily measurements
of the solar spectrum between 0.2 µm and 2.4 µm, made by the Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM) instrument on the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) satellite3 since April 2004, have revealed4 that over this
declining phase of the solar
cycle there was a four to six times larger
decline in ultraviolet than would have been predicted on the basis
of our previous understanding.
Recent satellite data have revealed, however, that there seems to be a surprising spectral component to solar variability, at least in the
declining phase of the current solar
