Peculiarities of long-term variations in temperature and troposphere heat content and their connection with solar activity

We present the results of analyzing spatio-temporal variations of the troposphere temperature regime in the Northern and Southern hemispheres in 1948-2006. We discuss a possible effect of solar activity on the tropospheric temperature regime within the suggested mechanism for heliogeophysical factors effect on climatic characteristics and atmospheric circulation in the high-latitude troposphere through the atmospheric electricity.
