Solar Cycles and the Equatorial Trough: An Alternate Conceptual Model
by Michael Wallace, Hydrologist I have offered to write this guest essay to reflect recent talks I’ve presented to water resource professionals on hydroclimatology and Solar cycles. As an academic…
Surprising: Researchers correlate rheumatoid arthritis and giant cell arteritis with solar cycles
From the DOE/Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory What began as a chat between husband and wife has evolved into an intriguing scientific discovery. The results, published in May in BMJ (formerly…
Paper: Influence of solar cycles on climate change during the Maunder Minimum
Both observational and proxy records of climate change often show quasi periodic variations similar to solar activity cycles over a wide range of time scales. However, the detailed mechanism and…
Excuse #31 for 'the pause' – El Niño and longer solar cycles
From ETH Zurich –Why global warming is taking a break The average temperature on Earth has barely risen over the past 16 years. ETH researchers have now found out why.…
Found: solar cycles on another star
Distant Star’s Sound Waves Reveal Cycle Similar to Sun – but the cycle is fast, less than 1 year Star known as HD49933 is located 100 light years away from…
Canada and USA agricultural weather issues and changes in our solar cycles
There’s been some concern lately over climate and agriculture. In the last few days we’ve had headlines such as: Crops under stress as temperatures fall (UK Telegraph) Canadian Wheat Output…
Archibald on sea level rise and solar cycles
Guest post by David Archibald Anthony’s post of the Jason data reminded me that I had produced this graph: It is derived from a post on Climate Audit of Holgate’s…
A Solar Science Timeline – sunspots, cycles, and solar wind
Humankind has studied the Sun for millennia. Ancient Babylonians recorded eclipses on stone tablets. Renaissance scientists peered through telescopes, tracking sunspots. Eventually we took to space, and the first satellites captured solar particles…
Kenya: Solar motorcycles take on Nairobi smog
From The Mail & Guardian Sophie Mbuguah , Deutsche Welle06 Jan 2019 11:45 No comment. But they did win prize money ~ctm Nairobi’s reliance on motorcycles is hindering efforts to…
Claim: Solar, AMO, & PDO cycles combined reproduce the global climate of the past
Guest essay by H. Luedecke and C.O.Weiss We reported recently about our publication [1] which shows that during the last centuries all climate changes were caused by periodic ( i.e.…
The challenges of trying to reconstruct changes in Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) since 1700: A response to Chatzistergos (2024)’s remake of Hoyt & Schatten (1993)
He seems to have created it as a parody of a TSI reconstruction. Instead, he argues that the scientific community should stick to using the SATIRE reconstructions of the MPS…
Climate Model Bias 3: Solar Input
By Andy May In part 2 we discussed the IPCC hypothesis of climate change that assumes humans and our greenhouse gas emissions and land use choices are the climate change…
Neptune’s Disappearing Clouds Linked to the Solar Cycle
This long set of observations shows that the number of clouds grows increasingly following a peak in the solar cycle – where the Sun’s level of activity rhythmically rises and…
Solar Activity: Cycle 25 Surpasses Cycle 24
By Javier Vinós Over the past two decades, solar activity has been characterized by an extended solar minimum spanning two solar cycles, known as the Clilverd Minimum. This phenomenon is…
It is Time to Bury the Grand Solar Minimum Myth
This post has been translated to German by Christian Freuer here. By Javier Vinós Fourteen years ago, a new climate myth was born. A grand solar minimum (GSM) was in…
Science of Solar Ponds Challenges the Climate Crisis
The science of solar ponds shows useful inexpensive natural heating, without the need for exotic materials. Furthermore, an understanding of the science of solar pond heating will profoundly change how…
Secrets of Sunspots and Solar Magnetic Fields Investigated in NASA Supercomputing Simulations
New results based on simulations out of NASA’s Advanced Supercomputing facility at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley are painting a more complete picture of one of the…
The Sun-Climate Effect: The Winter Gatekeeper Hypothesis (II). Solar activity unexplained/ignored effects on climate
by Javier Vinós & Andy May “The complicated pattern of sun-weather relationships undoubtedly needs much further clarification, but progress in this field will be hindered if the view prevails that…
The Sun-Climate Effect: The Winter Gatekeeper Hypothesis (I). The search for a solar signal
by Javier Vinós & Andy May “Probably no subfield of meteorology has had as much effort devoted to it as the effects of solar variability on weather and climate. And…
Ocean Atmosphere Response to Solar EMR at Top of the Atmosphere
How can climate models hope to reflect the real world when clouds are parameterised with no sensitivity to surface temperature?
Novel NASA Instrument Sets Sights on Earth-bound Solar Radiation
A very small instrument has a big job ahead of it: measuring all Earth-directed energy coming from the Sun and helping scientists understand how that energy influences our planet’s severe…
Arctic Sea Ice Stabilizes, No Trend Reduction In More Than 10 Years As Solar Cycle Starts Off Weakly
From the NoTricksZone By Die kalte Sonne The Copernicus program offers very interesting data on Arctic ice. While sea ice has been declining off the Greenland Sea (east of the island), the Chucki…
