Understanding the influence of solar variability on the Earth's climate requires knowledge of
solar variability, solar‐terrestrial interactions, and the mechanisms determining the response …

Modes of climate variability affect global and regional climates on different spatio-temporal
scales, and they have important impacts on human activities and ecosystems. As these …

In order to evaluate how much Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) has influenced Northern
Hemisphere surface air temperature trends, it is important to have reliable estimates of both …

Atmospheric levels of CO2 are commonly assumed to be a main driver of global climate.
Independent empirical evidence suggests that the galactic cosmic ray flux (CRF) is linked to …

Among the most puzzling questions in climate change is that of solar-climate variability,
which has attracted the attention of scientists for more than two centuries. Until recently …

The literature relevant to how solar variability influences climate is vast—but much has been
based on inadequate statistics and non-robust procedures. The common pitfalls are outlined …

In such drought-prone regions as Kazakhstan, research on regional drought characteristics
and their formation conditions is of paramount importance for actions to mitigate drought …

Atmospheric aerosols affect climate and yet the reason for many observed events of new
aerosol formation is not understood. One of the theories put forward to explain these events …

Currently a cosmic ray cloud connection (CRC) hypothesis is subject of an intense
controversial debate. It postulates that galactic cosmic rays (GCR) intruding the Earth's …

New particle formation (NPF) was predicted to contribute to a major fraction of free
tropospheric particle number and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations by global …
