  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Understanding the temporal variation of cosmic radiation 
and solar activity during the Holocene is essential for 
studies of the solar-terrestrial relationship. Cosmic-ray 
produced radionuclides, such as 10Be and 14C which are stored 
in polar ice cores and tree rings, offer the unique opportunity 
to reconstruct the history of cosmic radiation and solar activity 
over many millennia. Although records from different archives 
basically agree, they also show some deviations during certain 
periods. So far most reconstructions were based on only one 
single radionuclide record, which makes detection and correction 
of these deviations impossible. Here we combine different 10Be 
ice core records from Greenland and Antarctica with the global 
14C tree ring record using principal component analysis. 
This approach is only possible due to a new high-resolution 10Be 
record from Dronning Maud Land obtained within the European Project 
for Ice Coring in Antarctica in Antarctica. The new cosmic radiation 
record enables us to derive total solar irradiance, which is then 
used as a proxy of solar activity to identify the solar imprint 
in an Asian climate record. Though generally the agreement between 
solar forcing and Asian climate is good, there are also periods 
without any coherence, pointing to other forcings like volcanoes 
and greenhouse gases and their corresponding feedbacks. The newly 
derived records have the potential to improve our understanding 
of the solar dynamics and to quantify the solar influence on climate. 
 
          STUDY NOTES: Records of common production rate of cosmogenic radionuclides, 
cosmic ray intensity (solar modulation) and solar activity 
(total solar irradiance) during the past 9400 years. 

Common production rate (Figure 3), solar modulation (Figure S13) 
and total solar irradiance (Figure S14) during the past 9400 years. 
The records are based on several radionuclide records with high 
temporal resolution (years) from different sites and of different 
types (10Be from Antarctica and Greenland, 14C from tree rings). 
The data are 22-year averages. The common signal is the first 
principal component which was extracted with principal component 
analysis. 

These data are an update to Steinhilber et al. 2009 total solar irradiance 
data, also archived at the World Data Center for Paleoclimtology:
