1. Introduction The role of solar variability for Earth’s climate, and its possible ramification for global climate change have been a subject of ongoing research in the 20th and early 21st century [Gray et al., 2010]. The topic gained attention after Svensmark and Friis-Christensen [1997] reported a correlation of global cloud cover with the intensity of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) based on satellite observations, and Marsh and Svensmark [2003] deduced a significant influence of solar variability on Earth’s climate.
