The Maunder Minimum and Climate Change: Have Historical Records Aided Current Research?
"We (the authors) discuss how, in the 1970's, Eddy took clues from the
historical researches of Spörer and Maunder in the 19th century to
draw attention to the virtual absence of sunspot activity between 1645
and 1715. This ``Maunder Minimum'' is not only of interest to solar
physicists in the context of the theory of solar magnetic activity, and
to stellar astrophysicists working on the properties of cool stars, but
may also be a vital clue to the influence of the variability of the Sun's
power output on terrestrial climate."
