Temperature response of Earth to the annual solar irradiance cycl

Douglass DH. Blackman EG. Knox RS

Physics Letters A 323, 315-22 (2004)

We directly determine the sensitivity and time delay of Earth's surface temperature response to annual solar irradiance variations from 60 years of data. A two-layer energy balance model is developed to interpret the results. Explaining both the resulting low sensitivity and time delay of 1-2 months requires negative feedback
