It looks like the solar minimum may have been in Aug 2008 -other indicators ofcoronal brightness suggest the same thing-and so I think cycle 24 has started.Also we do have a decent amount of polar field strength-which is the seedmagnetic flux for the cycle and if we were going into a Maunder Minimum wewould not likely have polar fields -since they are a consequence of the dynamothat drives the cycle. {Judith Lean, personal communication}

Mechanisms for Solar Influence onTropospheric Temperatures
• Variations in total solar irradiance (TSI)– Influence on subtropical surface temperatures (land and sea), with
subsequent atmospheric dynamic and moisture effects; influenceon Hadley circulation
• Impact of solar irradiance variations on ocean/atmdynamics– ENSO– NAM/NAO– NADW
• Variations in solar UV affecting stratosphere andstratospheric ozone
• Impact of stratospheric changes on troposphericdynamics– Hadley circulation– Planetary waves

Conclusions• Solar variability has likely affected recent decadal temperature trends and will
probably continue to do so for the next decade - the overall warming for thepast century is almost certainly due to greenhouse gas emissions.
• Solar variability may have contributed to cooler conditions during the last 500years, although the magnitude of its effect is highly uncertain.
• It’s unclear how solar variability relates to ENSO variations.• Solar variability may affect NAM/NAO phase and NADW production,
although it’s not obvious that it has any special influence compared to otherclimate forcings.
• Solar influence on the troposphere appears to be the result of both1)“top-down” forcing from solar UV variability, stratospheric ozone changes,and stratospheric temperatures affecting tropospheric stability2) “bottom-up” through TSI influence on the surface, perhaps especially in thesubtropics
• These effects seem capable of influencing the Hadley circulation and tropical(monsoon) precipitation, as recorded in some modern and paleo-records.
• They may also affect planetary waves and extratropical winter phenomena,perhaps in association with the QBO, although this has yet to be proven.
• With current estimates of future climate forcing, solar variability may producea period of little global temperature change during the 2014-2020 time period,similar to what has been observed over the last 10 years.
