At solar maximum (peak of the 11-year cycle), the sun's energy output increases particularly at high-energy wavelengths, amplifying ozone production in the stratosphere and causing large temperature shifts in the stratosphere, with a surface effect of approximately 0.05–0.1 degrees Celsius (0.1–0.2 degrees Fahrenheit)
