SESSION DESCRIPTION
GC14:  Solar Variability Effects on Terrestrial Climate

There are several scientific challenges associated with connecting the 
11-year solar cycle (SC) to climate variability. Among these challenges are 
identifying pathways by which a small decadal change in solar irradiance 
(<0.1%) can be amplified beyond what current models imply to produce a 
significant response in the climate system, and distinguishing the SC 
signal from other climate signals that arise from human activities (e.g., 
enhanced greenhouse gases) and natural causes (e.g., volcanic activity). 
The session addresses how changes in the SC and solar proton events affect 
terrestrial climate by altering the communication at and between 
"phenomenological interfaces." These interfaces include: solar 
irradiance-middle atmosphere chemistry; middle atmosphere 
chemistry-atmospheric dynamics; QBO-planetary waves; tropical 
upwelling-planetary waves; mesosphere-lower thermosphere; and 
troposphere-stratosphere.
