The luminosity of the sun governs the temperature of the planets. And the solar forcing, or driving, of climate, primarily due to changes in solar radiation, is an idea whose history has not been well documented in a book. Recent satellite measurements have shown that solar radiation varies as a function of wavelength - a concept that for the past ...
This book presents the lecture notes of the 34th Saas-Fee Advanced Course, "The Sun, Solar Analogs and the Climate" given by leading scientists in the field. Emphasis is on the observed variability of the Sun and the present understanding of the variability's origin as well as its impact on the Earth's climate. The solar variability is then ...
The book explores what can be learned about the Sun and interplanetary space using present-day and future radio observations and techniques. The emphasis is on interpretation of radio data with high spatial and spectral resolution, motivated by the planned construction of a new, powerful, solar-dedicated radio array called the Frequency Agile ...
The continuing success of helio- and asteroseismology in studying the internal structure and dynamics of the Sun, and of other single stars, has been highlighted in recent years by many topical meetings. The present proceedings document the first Seismology symposium ever held in conjunction with an IAU General Assembly. This substantially ...
The existence of strongly convecting layers in the Sun and stars provides us with a natural laboratory for the study of dynamical processes in intensely turbulent, magnetized, rotating, radiating fluids. Helioseismology has now given us a tool to measure the detailed properties of solar convection beneath the visible Sun, and thus to test our ...

The International Astronomical Union dedicated a conference in Boulder, Colorado, USA, to solar and stellar irradiance variability. This book gathers together articles from this meeting. These provide an account of research into the variability of the Sun and similar stars.
The variability of the Sun is well established, as well as that of the Earth's climate. To what extent the two are connected, in the sense that solar variability drives climate, is the subject of considerable research and, in some cases, controversy. This volume is aimed at obtaining an overview of the current knowledge of the variability of the ...
The calibration of carbon 14 dating by dendrochronology has yielded evidence of an approximate 200-year period in the carbon 14 generation rate in the high atmosphere. Measurements of Beryllium 10 in ice cores have provided additional evidence for this variation in cosmic rays, which must be attributed to changes in the magnetic activity of the ...
