This spacecraft was designed to observe gamma rays, X-rays and UV radiation from solar flares during a time
of high solar activity.
We know, for example, that the enhanced UV radiation that pours outward from the Sun at times of
high solar activity increases the amount of ozone in the stratosphere.
High solar shielding of the galactic cosmic rays during periods of
high solar activity decreases the radionuclide production rates and vice versa for low solar activities.
They should have realised that top
down high solar activity combined with bottom up positive oceanic influences would in combination be enough to produce the late 20th century warming without having to invoke a significant effect from more CO2.
Just to clarify, is it that high angular momentum
causes higher solar activity, low angular momentum causes lower solar activity and angular momentum disturbances cause the proper Grand Minima?
If the difference
between high solar activity and low solar activity is just a slowing of warming, how do you conclude that we would be in «an ice age» were the warming not present?
The present production of terrestrial 14C and 10Be appears to be near historically - low levels, due to
persistently high solar activity that inhibits the rate at which these isotopes are produced.
For instance, the Medieval Climatic Anomaly was characterised by
relatively high solar activity, low volcanic activity and possible changes in ocean circulation patterns.
In periods of normal solar activity, aurorae can be seen in oval - shaped regions centered on the magnetic poles and lying roughly at a geomagnetic latitude of 65 °, but at times
of high solar activity the auroral oval can expand greatly, moving towards the equator.
And if you go 1,000 years back, you also had
high solar activity, and that was when Rome was at its height.
We live in a unique time in history, because this period has
the highest solar activity we have had in 1,000 years, and maybe even in 8,000 years.
The last time we had
high solar activity was during the medieval warming, which was when all of the cathedrals were built in Europe.
The past studies have found
the highest solar activity levels in (since) the 1940's based on proxy data, but modern instrumental measurements do not show any trend since 1950's.
During periods of
high solar activity, CMEs often burst from the Sun as waves of particles and plasma, triggering auroras and occasional electronic chaos when they wash over Earth.
Without the scientific knowledge we have today to explain the phenomenon of
high solar activity and geomagnetic storms in space, they created poignant fables which were passed down from generation to generation.
Solar cycles cause global warming A new peer - reviewed study on Surface Warming and the Solar Cycle found that times of
high solar activity are on average 0.2 °C warmer than times of low solar activity, and that there is a polar amplification of the warming.
