Abstract
Changes in solar constant over an 11 yr cycle suggest a certain but limited degree of solar forcing of climate The highresolution climate oxygen isotope record of the Greenland GISP2 Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 ice core has been analyzed for solar and volcanic influences The atmospheric 14C record is used as a proxy of solar change and compared to the oxygen isotope profile in the GISP2 ice core An annual oxygen isotope profile is derived from centimeterscale isotope measurements available for the postAD 818 interval Associated extreme summer and winter isotope ratios were found to yield similar climate information over the last millennium The detailed record of volcanic aerosols converted to optical depth and volcanic explosivity change was also compared to the isotope record and the oxygen isotope response calibrated to shortterm volcanic influences on climate This calibration shows that centuryscale volcanic modulation of the GISP2 oxygen isotope record can be neglected in our analysis of solar forcing The timing estimated order of temperature change and phase lag of several maxima in 14C and minima in18O are suggestive of a solar component to the forcing of Greenland climate over the current millennium The fractional climate response of the cold interval associated with the Maunder sunspot minimum and 14C maximum as well as the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age temperature trend of the past millennium are compatible with solar climate forcing with an order of magnitude of solar constant change of ∼03 Even though solar forcing of climate for the current millennium is a reasonable hypothesis for the rest of the Holocene the centuryscale events are more frequent in the oxygen isotope record than in the 14C record and a significant correlation is absent For this interval oceanic/atmospheric circulation forcing of climate may dominate Solar forcing during the surprisingly strong 1470 yr climate cycle of the 11000–75000 yr BP interval is rather hypothetical
