The solar engine and its influence on terrestrial atmosphere and climate /
The Earth experienced numerous cold and warm climatic excursions in the past. There is growing evidence that one of the factors that caused these changes was solar variability. In 35 chapters, leading experts present and discuss the physical mechanisms linking solar forces to the Earth's atmosp...
