Abstract
The objective of this paper is to present some results deduced from the analysis of (space-based) solar irradiance observations used jointly with (ground-based) solar diameter variations. The idea which is explored consists in searching a possible influence of the variability of the Sun’s whole shape on the luminosity. It is shown that such an effect, albeit small, may occur. Thus, the global geometry of the Sun — which is not a perfect static ellipsoid — would have to be taken into account when attempting to model the irradiance. Our very preliminary results may help to construct empirical models that can be used, in turn to force any model of the thermal structure of the ocean and atmosphere to deduce climate variations, if any.
Paper presented at the SOLERS22 International Workshop, held at the National Solar Observatory, Sacramento Peak, Sunspot, New Mexico, U.S.A., June 17–21, 1996.
