摘要/Abstract

摘要： 太阳辐射是地球系统的能量来源，是气候形成和演变的根本驱动力。在千年以上的长时间尺度上，达到地球的太阳辐射变化与地球气候有密切的关系。但在百年和百年以下的时间尺度上，人们尚不清楚太阳活动对气候是否有明显的影响。太阳活动可能通过多种路径影响地球气候，过程极为复杂。气候系统对太阳外强迫的响应又具有非线性特征，造成了太阳活动变化对气候的影响存在很大的不确定性。文章梳理和归纳总结了太阳活动影响地球气候的最近研究工作，在年际和年代际尺度上讨论了太阳活动变化对地球气候影响的关键因子和可能途径，以及气候系统对太阳活动变化响应的敏感地区和关键环节。

Abstract: Solar radiation is the energy source of the Earth system and the fundamental driving force of climate formation and evolution. The variation of solar radiation reaching the Earth is closely related to the Earth’s climate on a long time scale, such as thousands years. But on time scales of hundreds years and less, it is not clear whether solar activity has a significant impact on climate. Solar activity can affect the Earth’s climate in many ways, and the process is extremely complex. The response of climate system to solar forcing is nonlinear, which results in great uncertainty of the influence of solar activity on climate. In this paper, we summarize the recent studies on the effects of solar activity on the Earth’s climate, and discuss the key factors and possible pathways of the effects of solar activity on the Earth’s climate on the interannual and decadal scales, as well as the sensitive areas and key linkages of the climate system in response to solar activity changes.
