We have used the Thermodynamic Model of the Climate to estimate the effect of variations in the fraction of the global cloud cover, on the surface temperature of the Earth in the North Hemisphere, during the period 1984-1990. We assume that the variations in the cloud cover are proportional to the variation of the cosmic ray flux measured during the same period. The results indicate that the effect in the temperature is significant when considering the superficial hemispheric temperature on July 1987, when an average temperature anomaly between 0.04° C and 1.4° C is observed in a latitudinal band of 20°-40°. The region that corresponds to Mexico presents an average temperature anomaly of ˜ 0.06° C. The superficial temperature averaged globally in the north hemisphere suffers a decrease ˜ 0.01°C wich is almost the same for continents and oceans; however this value is within the uncertainties of the model.
