<p class="MsoPlainText">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">We are pleased to announce the following session at the EGU General Assembly 2016, 17-22 April 2016, Vienna, Austria.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Session ST4.6/CL2.05 Solar Irradiance Variability and its Effects on Climate<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><a href="http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/20699">http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/20699</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Variability of the incoming solar irradiance and its effects on climate have received wide attention over the recent years. There is a continuous effort to reduce uncertainties in measurements of the total and spectral solar spectral
irradiances, physical and empirical modelling have undergone considerable progress and novel statistical analyses have been employed. At the same time, numerical models and observations are extensively used to characterize the influence of the solar irradiance
variability on climate. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This session invites abstracts on measurements and models of solar spectral and total irradiance as well as abstracts on the atmospheric response to solar irradiance variability.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Abstracts on comparison of atmospheric effects to different solar irradiance datasets are particularly welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Please consider submission of your abstract using the following link:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">We are looking forward to seeing you in Vienna in 2016.<o:p></o:p></p>
