Introduction
• Since 1980 a paradigm emerged in geosciences, analogous to
• plate tectonics revolution of 1950s and 1960s.

In the following slide the concept of a pyramidal structure illustrates the relation of the ESS and global change education in the larger interest of society.
At the lower level of the pyramid information and knowledge from the basic sciences , disciplines are important.

The next level is information and knowledge show how to integrate the discipline of interest with the other relevant disciplines.
Within the pyramidal structure one can find out who will advise, manage, direct and lead humankind activities.

In the mid-1980’s NASA began a systems approach to cataloging the elements of the Earth System, their linkages, dependences and fluxes. This simplified version focuses on the physical elements of the system, but relegates human processes to a simple box.

has begun to understand and

“forcings”
on the climate system

The next slide estimates of the globally and annually averaged radiative forcings (in watt/sq.m) due to a number of anthropogenic and natural factors from pre-industrial times (1750) to 2000.
The height of the rectangular bars indicates mid-range estimates of the FORCINGS:

27
The error bars show estimates of the uncertainty ranges.
Note that only the range of values, not a central estimate, is shown for the indirect aeorosol forcing, because of its large uncertainty.
The contribution of individiual gases to the direct greenhouse forcing are indicated in the first bar; the forcings associated with changes in Ozone are shown in the second and third bars.
18.04.23 ESS 501 ODTÜ/METU Ankara
28
Estimates of the forcings (globally averaged values) due to changes in aerosols are shown in the following bars.
The last two bars are estimates of the forcings associated with changes in land use because of the changes in albedo and with possible variations in the input of solar radiation.
Also included is an index of scientific understanding for each forcing representing a subjective judgement about the degree of knowledge and understanding regarding the mechanisms involved.

In the ESS , the various processes act in concert to
define both a backgound state (CLIMATOLOGY) and a disturbed state (WEATHER) (R.W.Schunk, Space Weather, Geophysical Monograph 125,AGU, WDC, 2001).
In other words, slow variations of long term averages are the subject of climatology ; and the short term variations are the subject of weather.
The influence of fluctuations of the solar source can be the atmost importance for the terrestrial climate
(besides, continential drift, ocean currents, vulcanism; position of the Earth in space, the fall of the bodies into the NES etc.)
18.04.23 ESS 501 ODTÜ/METU Ankara
30
This influence can be direct:
(i) if solar irradiance is tied with solar magnetic activity , it is reasonable to expect that irradiance and sunspot numbers are correlated with each other. In order to determine whether a climatic effect is visible , we must have irradiance information available on climatic scales of many decades to centuries. Unfortunately, irradiance data goes back to only 1980’s .
(SWARM-Internet Space Weather and Radio Propagation Forecasting Course, 1996-2001) .
In other words, Solar radiation varies according to the nature of the emission site-a sunspot does not radiate in the same way as a facula or a coronal hole. A variation of 0.3 % of the solar constant(!) (i.e. 4 Watts per Sq.m) results in average variation of 0.4 deg.of celsius of the average temperature on the Earth .
Certain studies show an influence of the 11 – year solar cycle on some meteorological phenomena.

(ii) The written records of the sunspots dates back to 1600 AD. Chinese sunspot observations are sporadic and dates back to 3000-4000 years ago.
Indirectly the C 14 content in trees will be anticorrelated with solar activity. That is, C 14 is produced by the cosmic rays . Due to the Forbusch decrease if cosmic ray concentration is low, then this period is a high sunspot or active solar activity period.
There exist very early observations of auroral observations from Chine, Japan and Korea.

The little ice age was the name given to the period between 1550 to 1750 when winters were so called that the big rivers of mid-latitude Europe froze over.
Between 1650 and 1750 there was a heavy draught in the South-West of North America.
The whole period correspondance to the Maunder minimum during which there were no sunspots on the Sun.
The Sun was unusually active between 1100 and 1250 AD – called “ Grand Maximum”. During this period , even in the northern countries the climate was so mild that wine could be grown at latitudes beyond 50 deg.N !

What is Space Weather?

• Our Sun is one of the ordinary stars of the Milky Way Galaxy which consists of about 100 billion stars. The Milky Way (MW) is only one of about 100 billion galaxies that exist in our Universe.
• The Sun orbits the center of the MW every 225 million years. Therefore, our solar system rotates around the center of the MW at a speed of 830 000 km per hour.
• The sun radiates at all wavelengths from gamma rays to radio waves as depicten ın the next slide.

What is space weather?
•Space weather is the physical and phenomenological state of natural space environments. The associated discipline aims, through observation, monitoring, analysis and modelling, at understanding and predicting the state of thesun, the interplanetary and planetary environments, and the solar and non-solar driven perturbations that affect them; and also at forecasting and nowcasting the possible impacts on biological and technological systems.Text: courtesy COST Action 724

D region – absorptionX-ray flares, protons
E/F region – reflection/refraction – magnetic storms/aurora

• Very energetic particles (> GeV) penetrate the atmosphere– Cosmic rays, solar energetic particles
– Influx controlled by geomagnetic field (highest at poles)
– Collisions generate secondary neutrons (peak flux ~ 20 km, significant at 10 km, some flux at surface)
• Cause significant single event effects in avionics• SEE now growing issue for ground-based electronics
– dominant factor limiting reliability of digital electronics
– major issue for safety-critical systems, e.g. in cars
– also issue for range of high-voltage power systems
• Cosmic rays also influence atmosphere– Clear link with cloud cover in maritime regions (Harrison, 2006)
– Can ~100 keV electrons from cosmic rays seed lightning strokes?

Extreme Events
• But they are rare – so main issue is detection and then patience until normal conditions return.
• Which critical systems need to cope?
• How to advise users on the day?
Extreme events are important as they produce major disruption often beyond scope of routine mitigation.

Long-term change in SpW•Solar change
– Are we at grand (300-year) maximum in solar activity (& its effects at Earth)?
– Will 21st century see collapse in activity (similar to 17th century)?
– What are consequences: enhanced cosmic ray fluxes, bigger solar particle events?
•Green-house gases– Will cool upper atmosphere– Some evidence in long-term ionospheric
data-sets – Also evidence from EISCAT continuous
run for IHY
•Geomagnetic field– Westward motion of SAA– Decline in magnetospheric protection

Different colors arise because different atmospheric gases are excited, and the excitation occurs at different altitudes as a result of the wide energy spread of the exciting electrons (from: Rice University educational home pages; http://space.rice.edu/).
