The effect of solar radiation variations on the climate of the Earth
Abstract
It follows from the analysis of observation data that the secular variation of the mean temperature of the Earth can be explained by the variation of short-wave radiation, arriving at the surface of the Earth. In connection with this, the influence of long-term changes of radiation, caused by variations of atmospheric transparency on the ther-mal regime is being studied. Taking into account the influence of changes of planetary albedo of the Earth under the development of glaciations on the thermal regime, it is found that comparatively small variations of atmospheric transparency could be suffi-cient for the development of quaternary glaciations. As paleogeographical research including ma-terials on paleotemperature analyses has shown (Bowen, 1966, et al), the Earth's climate has long differed from the present one. During the last two hundred million years the temperature difference between the poles and equator has been comparatively small and there were no zones of cold climate on the Earth. By the end of the Tertiary period the temperature at tem-perate and high latitudes had decreased ap-preciably, and in the Quaternary time subse-quent increase in the thermal contrast between the poles and equator took place, that waa fol-lowed by the development of ice cover on the land and o c e m a t temperate and high latitudes. The size of Quaternary glaciations changed several times, the present epoch correspbnding to the moment of a decrease in the area of gla-ciations that still…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
