spaceweb@oulu.fi - last update: 14 January 1999, 0950 UT (RR) . Term 'global change' is used to describe the changes of the large scale weather systems on Earth , and especially the surface temperature increase, by man-made increase of atmospheric CO 2 . ... It is the last point that is of importance for space physics, since it is possible that also the changes in Sun 's activity could be causing some changes in terrestrial climate. ...

The hotbed effect (hothouse effect) in the planets atmosphere is the inside atmosphere layers heating (of the Earth, Venus etc.), due to the transparent planet atmosphere for the main part of solar radiation (in optical range). In the atmosphere of the Earth this radiation is absorbed by the molecules of H2O, C02, O3 and others. ... As a result of human activities the CO2 content is increasing (and the other gases, absorbing in infrared range). ...

The images were derived from full disk scans by CDS on 23 April 1998. As the temperature increases, the radiation comes from higher layers of the solar atmosphere, or corona, and is more strongly associated with solar activity. ... Scientists use images like these to probe the temperature structure of the solar atmosphere. A View of the Chromosphere & Corona . ...

... The Sun is the closest star to us, and a regular object in our Galaxy. Solar activity manifests itself, primarily, in solar flares - episodic explosive energy release in the form of electromagnetic radiation and high energy particles (electrons and protons). The nature of the flares is related to cyclic variations of global and local magnetic fields in the atmosphere of the Sun. ... Such formations are called active regions. ...

Geomagnetic storms and substorms are a natural hazard similar to hurricanes, floods etc. ... Solar and geomagnetic activity also probably influences the Earth's climate and human health. ... Under southward directed IMF the Earth's magnetosphere is open to input from the solar wind flow. ... Since practical importance of solar wind measurements was recognized, a number of approaches was developed for prediction of the geomagnetic activity basing on the solar wind data. ...

... The Sun has come all of one day away from breaking its record for the longest period of inactivity for the last decade - reaching a mid-summer low and falling into yet another state of "hibernation". Yesterday, on the first day of autumn, new sunspots appeared on the surface of the Sun following an absence of almost 50 days. ... The first low lasted 51 days, from 21 July until 11 September last year. ... Now, almost a year later, it seems the Sun has hit a new low almost as "deep" as the first. ...
