RSSThe Sun has hit a 100-year low in sunspot activity, a 50-year low in solar wind pressure and a 55-year low in radio emissions. Who predicted this would happen? A couple of papers spring to mind: Fairbridge, R. W. and Shirley, J. H. (1987): Prolonged minima and the 179-year cycle of the solar inertial motion. [...]
A new paper has been published in GRL by Scafetta and Willson entitled: ‘ACRIM-gap and TSI trend issue resolved using a surface magnetic flux TSI proxy model’ The Abstract states: “The ACRIM-gap (1989.5-1991.75) continuity dilemma for satellite TSI observations is resolved by bridging the satellite TSI monitoring gap between ACRIM1 and ACRIM2 results with TSI [...]
Nir Shaviv’s latest paper has been published in the Journal of Geophysical Research (Space Physics). It is entitled: ‘Using the oceans as a calorimeter to quantify the solar radiative forcing.’ The Abstract states: Over the 11-year solar cycle, small changes in the total solar irradiance (TSI) give rise to small variations in the global energy [...]
Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2009, Pages 239-245: Forecasting the parameters of sunspot cycle 24 and beyond by C. de Jagera and S. Duhaub Abstract: Solar variability is controlled by the internal dynamo which is a non-linear system. We develop a physical–statistical method for forecasting solar activity that takes [...]
Flashback to Dec. 21, 2006: NASA: Evidence is mounting: the next solar cycle is going to be a big one. 05/01/2009: NASA: Solar Cycle Prediction It seems that NASA’s David Hathaway has changed his mind.
There is a new paper ‘in press’ in Geophysical Research Letters by Eichler et al entitled, ‘Temperature response in the Altai region lags solar forcing.’ The Abstract states: The role of the sun on Earth’s climate variability is still much debated. Here we present an ice core oxygen isotope record from the continental Siberian Altai, [...]
There is a new paper ‘in press’ in GRL by J.A. Abreu, J. Beer, F. Steinhilber, S.M. Tobias, and N.O. Weiss, entitled: ‘For how long will the current grand maximum of solar activity persist?’ The Abstract states: Understanding the Sun’s magnetic activity is important because of its impact on the Earth’s environment. The sunspot record [...]
Sept. 30, 2008: Astronomers who count sunspots have announced that 2008 is now the “blankest year” of the Space Age. As of Sept. 27, 2008, the sun had been blank, i.e., had no visible sunspots, on 200 days of the year. To find a year with more blank suns, you have to go back to [...]
