Global warming is becoming one of the main threats to mankind. There is growing evidence that anthropogenic greenhouse gases have become the dominant factor since about 1970. At the same time natural factors of climate change such as solar and volcanic forcings cannot be neglected on longer time scales. Despite growing scientific efforts over the last decades in both, observations and simulations, the uncertainty of the solar contribution to the past climate change remained unacceptably high (IPCC, 2007), the reasons being on one hand missing observations of solar irradiance prior to the satellite era, and on the other hand a majority of models so far not including all processes relevant for solar-climate interactions.During the past several decades the Sun was relatively stable on an unusually high level of activity. There are indications, such as the unusual current solar minimum, that we are approaching the end of the high activity period within the next 10 to 20 years. Such a change could significantly affect future climate, partly offsetting the anticipated anthropogenic global warming. Therefore, this collaborative project aims to address the following two main research questions:1. How did past solar variations affect climate, and how can we use this information to constrain solar-climate modeling? 2. How will a decrease in solar forcing in the next decades affect climate at global and regional scales?To improve our knowledge of the solar contribution to the climate variability, we take advantage of the unique fact that leading groups from the solar and the climate community, working on both, observational and modeling aspects, are located in Switzerland. Within this collaboration of five groups at four Swiss institutes (which have been collaborating successfully in NCCR Climate and within an ETH Polyproject) we propose to:• further develop and apply new data sets of solar forcing factors, like total solar irradiance (TSI), spectral solar irradiance, solar energetic particles, for the past;• predict these solar forcing factors until 2100 AD; • simulate the global climate system behavior from 1600 to 2100 with an unprecedented long run and a series of embedded multi-year ensemble experiments using a state-of-the-art atmosphere-ocean-chemistry-climate model (AOCCM); • quantify the solar influence on global climate in the future by evaluating the simulations and using information from past analogs such a the Dalton minimum. These goals are very ambitious and, to the best of our knowledge, have never been addressed before with atmosphere-ocean-chemistry-coupling. They can only be reached by joining the available expertise within the consortium from different fields (solar physics, solar irradiance, paleoclimatology, atmospheric chemistry and climate modeling) and by exploiting new information and tools such as: • novel data (10'000 yr decadal solar activity reconstructions, 600 yr annual TSI reconstruction);• a novel, solar irradiance model-based reconstruction technique for spectral solar irradiance;• a novel climate modeling system (capable of simulating solar influences from oceanic energy absorption and UV effects on ozone to the effect of energetic particles and cosmic rays on mesospheric and stratospheric chemistry)The proposal is timely because we are about to enter a new phase of solar activity. The present solar minimum provides new and unprecedented instrumental data, which in combination with long-term reconstructions based on solar activity proxies form the basis for reliable model runs of future solar influence on the terrestrial climate. The project is expected to significantly increase our knowledge of the solar influence on the climate system on various time scales and to elucidate the Sun’s expected role in future climate change.
