Daily tropical cyclone intensity response to solar ultraviolet radiation J. B. Elsner, T. H. Jagger, and R. E. Hodges GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS, VOL. 37, L09701, doi:10.1029/2010GL043091, 2010 Abstract: An inverse relationship between hurricane activity over the Caribbean and the number of sunspots has recently been identified.
