We study, by using a wavelet decomposition methodology, the solar signature on global surface temperature data using the ACRIM total solar irradiance satellite composite by Willson and Mordvinov. These data present a +0.047% per decade trend between minima during solar cycles 21-23 (1980-2002). By using the phenomenological climate sensitivity to a 22-year cycle, we estimate that the ACRIM upward trend might have contributed 10-30% of the global surface temperature warming over the period 1980-2002. Moreover, by comparing the phenomenological climate sensitivity to the 11-year solar cycle with those hypothesized by some energy balance models we conclude that the former is 1.5-3 times stronger than the latter. Finally, we study the climate sensitivity in different regions of the Earth.
