Abstract. Simulations of climate over the Last Millennium (850–1850 CE) have been incorporated into third phase Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP3). The drivers this period are chiefly orbital, solar, volcanic, changes in land use/land cover and some variation greenhouse gas levels. While these effects can be easily defined, reconstructions volcanic use-related forcing more uncertain. We describe here approach taken defining scenarios used PMIP3, document discuss likely...

A long-standing task in climate research has been to distinguish between anthropogenic change and natural variability. prerequisite for fulfilling this is the understanding of relative roles external drivers internal variability carbon cycle. Here, we present first ensemble simulations over last 1200 years with a comprehensive Earth system model including fully interactive Applying up-to-date reconstructions forcing recent low-amplitude estimates solar variations, reproduce...

Solar irradiance is the main external driver of Earth's climate. Whereas total solar source energy input into climate system, UV exerts control over chemical and physical processes in upper atmosphere. The time series accurate measurements are, however, relatively short limit assessment contribution to change. Here we reconstruct spectral range 115–160,000 nm since 1610. evolution photospheric magnetic flux, which a central model, appraised from historical record sunspot number using simple...
We improve the description of evolution Sun's open and total magnetic flux on time scales years to millenia.

Compared earlier versions addition long-lived flux, now also a more rapidly decaying component considered. The are constrained by comparing its output with observations reconstruction based geomagnetic indexes. A...

Abstract Magnetopause shadowing and wave‐particle interactions are recognized as the two primary mechanisms for losses of electrons from outer radiation belt. We investigate these mechanisms, using satellite observations both in interplanetary space within magnetosphere particle drift modeling. Two shocks/sheaths impinged upon magnetopause causing a relativistic electron flux dropout. The magnetic cloud (MC) structure sunward MC had primarily northward field, perhaps leading to concomitant...
We present a comparative study of high-intensity long-duration continuous AE activity (HILDCAA) events, both isolated and those occurring in the "recovery phase" geomagnetic storms induced by corotating interaction regions (CIRs). The aim this is to determine difference, if any, relativistic electron acceleration magnetospheric energy deposition. All HILDCAA events solar cycle 23 (from 1995 through 2008) are used study. Isolated characterized enhanced fluxes electrons compared pre-event flux...
The sudden enhancement in the mesospheric neutral metal layers (Ns) has been studied different latitudes for decades. Specifically, at 23°S, Sodium Ns have analyzed since their first observation end of seventies. Several studies reported during events energetic particle precipitation (EPP) and formation auroral-type sporadic E (Es a ) high-latitude stations. Es are also observed Brazilian low-latitude sector EPP due to South American Magnetic Anomaly (SAMA). However, despite extensive on...
A complex active region in the Sun’s photosphere from 8 May 2024, produced seven halo-type Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) following extreme solar flares. These events generated Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) that propagated toward Earth, culminating an geomagnetic storm (SYM-H = −497 nT) 10 to 13 2024. This study analyzes photosphere, interplanetary medium, inner radiation belt, and space weather impacts on neutral atmosphere E F ionospheric layers over South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly...

The variability in solar irradiance, the main external energy source of Earth's system, must be critically studied order to place effects human‐driven climate change into perspective and allow plausible predictions evolution climate. Accurate measurements total irradiance (TSI) by instruments onboard space platforms during last three cycles indicate changes approximately 0.1% over sunspot cycle. Physics‐based models also suggest variations same magnitude on centennial millennia time‐scales....
The dynamics of the electron population in Earth’s radiation belts affect upper atmosphere’s ionization level through low-energy Electron Precipitation (EP). impact EP on high-latitude ionosphere has been well explained since 1960’s decade. Conversely, it is still not understood for region South American Magnetic Anomaly (SAMA). In this study, we present results analysis strong geomagnetic storm associated with Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection (May 27-28, 2017). atypical auroral sporadic...
The study of the physical processes that drive variability Earth's climate system is one most fascinating and challenging topics research today. Perhaps largest uncertainties in our ability to predict change are cloud formation process interaction clouds with radiation. Here we show southern Pacific Ocean effects on net radiative flux atmosphere related intensity magnetic field through lower cosmic ray effects. In inner region Southern Hemisphere Magnetic Anomaly (SHMA) it observed a cooling...
