A case study of relationship between GPS PWV and solar variability during the declining phase of solar cycle 23
Abstract Water vapor plays an important role in the global climate system. A clear relationship between water vapor and solar activity can explain some physical mechanisms of how solar activity influences terrestrial weather/climate changes. To gain insight of this possible relationship, the atmosph...
