英文摘要: Based on the results of decadal correlation studies between the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project-detected cloud anomalies and the galactic cosmic ray (GCR) flux, it has been suggested that a re- lationship exists between solar activity and cloud cover. If valid, such a relationship could have important implications for scientists' understanding of recent climate change. In this work, an analysis of the first decade of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-detected cloud anomalies are presented, and the data at global and local geographical resolutions to total solar irradiance (TSI), GCR variations, and the multivariate El Niño-Southern Oscillation index are compared. The study identifies no statistically significant correlations between cloud anomalies and TSI/GCR variations, and concludes that solar-related variability is not a primary driver of monthly to annual MODIS cloud variability. The authors observe a net increase in cloud detected by MODIS over the past decade of ;0.58%, arising from a combination of a reduction in high- to midlevel cloud (20.31%) and an increase in low-level cloud (0.89%); these long-term changes may be largely attributed to ENSO-induced cloud variability. © 2012 American Meteorological Society.
