Abstract

This paper examines terrestrial temperature change and associated phenomena of their relationship to solar radiation indices in Japan. We analyzed the temperature variability of different weather stations across Japan over hundred years in dependence from solar activity and found high positive correlation between temperature trends and sunspots. The study based on the instrumental temperature records data and empirical observations for sunspots over the same time.

Keywords:
Temperature anomalies, sunspots, air temperature, climate trend, sun-earth system.
