Solar Input to the Terrestrial System

  • Conference paper
Solar-Terrestrial Influences on Weather and Climate

Abstract

We review the physical origin, spectral nature, energetics and known variability of all solar emanations: photons, particles and fields. The potential role of line-blanketing as a cause of irradiance change is given.

Operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under contract with the National Science Foundation.
