External forcing on air-surface temperature: Geographical distribution of sensitive climate zones

► We study the geographical distribution of the climate response to external forcing. ► The climate zones sensitive to the solar forcing on decadal periods are allocated. ► Some climate variations are due to a combined effect of solar and volcanic forcing. ► Without this effect the solar signal is still visible in some zones. ► The maximal effect on climate is due to 22 year variations of geomagnetic activity.
