Ruzmaikin, A., Feynman, J., Jiang, X., Noone, D.C., Waple, A.M. and Yung, Y.L. (2004). The pattern of northern hemisphere surface air temperature during prolonged periods of low solar output. Geophysical Research Letters 31: doi: 10.1029/2004GL019955. issn: 0094-8276.

We show that the reconstructed sensitivity of the sea level temperature to long term solar forcing in the Northern Hemisphere is in very good agreement with the empirical temperature pattern corresponding to changes of the North Annular Mode (NAM). This implies that long-term variations of solar output affect climate predominantly through the NAM that extends throughout the stratosphere and troposphere.
