Studies of the global (spatially unresolved) output from the sun are important for two main reasons: (1) the global solar output directed towards the earth plays a central role in solar-terrestrial relations, and (2) global solar observations form a link between (neccessarily) global observations of stars and the more refined spatially resolved observations which are available for the sun. This report covers both aspects (insofar as they concern the sun), using the time-scales of various phenomena as a basic distinguishing characteristic. Note that certain studies of spatially unresolved solar output have not been discussed, since they are actually directed toward the investigation of phenomena of strictly limited spatial extent [e.g. radiospectrograph observations (e.g. Wiehl et al. 1985) and studies of X-ray bursts (e.g. Thomas et al. 1985)]. Collections of relevant papers may be found in De Jager and Svestka (1985) and Labonte et al. (1984), while a review of germane stellar work is available in Baliunas and Vaughan (1985) and solar-terrestrial work in Donnelly and Heath (1985). A comprehensive summary of the subject by Hudson will appear soon in Review of Geophysics and Planetary Physics.
