Detection of potential solar drivers of climate change

Fundamental problem of solar-terrestrial weather connections requires mutual statistical reanalysis of very
large datasets from climatology and space weather in parallel with searching for the physical modeling which
could explain these connections. The specific problem addressed in our paper is statistical correlations between
the solar activity in time scales from months to the solar cycle with the intensity of cosmic rays penetrating the
Earth atmosphere, variations of cloud cover observed by the DMSP satellites and climatology reanalysis data.
