The record of global, hemispheric, and basin-wide sea-surface temperatures during the era of shipboard measurements provides some of the best evidence for a sun-climate linkage on interdecadal time scales. On these long time scales the upper mixed layers of the oceans can reach a quasi-equilibrium thermal balance with the external forcing, unlike the situation for interannual and even decadal-scale forcing, for which the thermal inertia of the oceans causes significant attenuation of the response. The interdecadal-scale SST data available happens to coincide roughly with the so-called Modern Minimum of solar activity, centered in the first decade of the 20th century. The data will be presented and discussed, together with some conclusions about the global climate sensitivity to solar irradiance variations.
