Sun-climate complexity linking.
It is known that Earth's short-term temperature anomalies share the same complexity index mu as solar flares. We show that this property is not accidental and is a consequence of the phenomenon of information transfer based on the crucial role of non-Poisson renewal events in complex networks.
متن کاملDigital Sun Sensor Multi-Spot Operation
The operation and test of a multi-spot digital sun sensor for precise sun-line determination is described. The image forming system consists of an opaque mask with multiple pinhole apertures producing multiple, simultaneous, spot-like images of the sun on the focal plane. The sun-line precision can be improved by averaging multiple simultaneous measures. Nevertheless, the sensor operation on a ...
متن کاملSpot Sizes on Sun-like Stars
The total area coverage by starspots is of interest for a variety of reasons, but direct techniques only provide estimates of this important quantity. Sunspot areas exhibit a lognormal size distribution irrespective of the phase of the activity cycle, implying that most sunspots are small. Here we explore the consequences if starspot areas were similarly distributed. The solar data allow for an...
متن کاملHow should support for climate-friendly technologies be designed?
Stabilizing global greenhouse gas concentrations at levels to avoid significant climate risks will require massive "decarbonization" of all the major economies over the next few decades, in addition to the reduced emissions from other GHGs and carbon sequestration. Achieving the necessary scale of emissions reductions will require a multifaceted policy effort to support a broad array of technol...
متن کاملClimate impacts of energy technologies depend on emissions timing
Energy technologies emit greenhouse gases with di�ering radiative e�ciencies and atmospheric lifetimes1–3. Standard practice for evaluating technologies, which uses the global warming potential (GWP) to compare the integrated radiative forcing of emitted gases over a fixed time horizon4, does not acknowledge the importance of a changing background climate relative to climate change mitigation t...
