Solar irradiance variations and change constitute an important forcing for the Earth's climate system. Sufficiently precise satellite-based measurements in the recent decades have provided information on the total solar irradiance and its variability over the 11-year activity cycle. Variations over longer periods, extending back to the pre-industrial era, are more difficult to quantify. According to the IPCC (2001)assessment, the solar forcing of climate over the period 1750 to present is about one-eighth of that due to the increase in the well-mixed greenhouse gases. Coupled three-dimensional atmosphere-ocean model simulations have been employed to determine the climatic effects of solar irradiance changes, and compare it with the effects due to the well-mixed greenhouse gases and other forcings. Important issues in this regard are: dynamical response of the climate system to different radiative perturbations; climate sensitivity due to solar forcing versus other natural, and anthropogenic forcing agents; response in the vertical profile of climate change; changes induced in stratospheric circulation, stratosphere-troposphere interactions and effects at the polar latitudes.
