• Anthropogenic and Natural Radiative Forcing (2014, background): “Such solar forcing may influence natural modes of circulation such as the Northern Annular Mode (e.g., Shindell et al., 2001; de la Torre et al., 2006; Ineson et al., 2011), the South Asian Summer Monsoon (Fan et al.”
• A mechanism for lagged North Atlantic climate response to solar variability (2013, result): “…numerous times from both observations [Kodera and Kuroda, 2002; Woollings et al., 2000; Zhou and Tung, 2010; Lockwood et al., 2010; L. J. Gray, personal communication] and climate modelling studies [Shindell et al., 2001; Matthes et al., 2006; Haigh, 2001; Ineson et al., 2011; Chiodo et al., 2012].”
• Solar forcing of North Atlantic surface temperature and salinity over the past millennium (2014, background): “Changes in stratospheric temperatures have a top-down effect on tropospheric dynamics and hence induce variability of the jet stream 22,26 .”
• A signal-to-noise paradox in climate science (2018, background): “A connection with the signal-to-noise paradox described here comes from the observed response to the 11-year solar cycle reaching its maximum not at the peak of the solar cycle, but rather at a lag of a few (2–4) years.(69,74) In climate model experiments,(69) the transient response to a step change”
• Solar Forcing for CMIP6 (v3.1) (2016, background): “However, some of the more recent studies using stratosphere-resolving (chemistry) climate models confirm a stratospheric downward influence on the NAO from solar variability, which is particularly associated with changes in UV radiation and possibly through interaction with stratospheric ozone (e.g.”
• Solar Irradiance Variability and Climate (2013, background): “More recently, a study by Ineson et al. (2011), using a coupled atmosphere-ocean GCM, prescribed changes to solar UV as suggested by SORCE-SIM measurements (in the 200–320 nm range only) and produced a significant shift to a negative NAO pattern, and colder winters in Western Europe, at lower solar…”
• Causes of climate change over the historical record (2019, background): “…appears to be an increased likelihood of the negative phase of the NAO and increased North Atlantic/Eurasian blocking frequency (Lockwood et al 2010), linked with cold winters in Europe and warm ones in Greenland (e.g. Woollings et al 2010, Ineson et al 2011, Scaife et al 2013, Gray et al 2016).”
• Recent variability of the solar spectral irradiance and its impact on climate modelling (2012, methodology): “These solar induced circulation changes in the stratosphere can induce noticeable decadal climate changes in the lower atmosphere and at the surface (e.g. Haigh, 1999; Kodera, 2002; Matthes et al., 2006; Ineson et al., 2011; Matthes, 2011).”
• Solar Influence on Global and Regional Climates (2012, methodology): “Recent numerical modelling by Ineson et al. (2011) has simulated the effect of the large decline in the strato-sphere-effective UV band inferred from the recent SIM/SORCE measurements by Harder et al. (2009) and Haigh et al. (2010).”
