Schnell and Harde: The Negative Greenhouse Effect – Part I
In two consecutive studies, the suitability of different experimental set-ups for detecting and measuring the emission of infrared-active gases is investigated, as this is of particular importance for understanding the atmospheric greenhouse effect. The first part presents a horizontally arranged Styrofoam box, as described occasionally in the literature for such experiments. The gases are slightly…
Scafetta: Planetary Synchronization
The complex planetary synchronization structure of the solar system, which since Pythagoras of Samos (ca. 570–495 BC) is known as the music of the spheres, is briefly reviewed from the Renaissance up to contemporary research. Copernicus’ heliocentric model from 1543 suggested that the planets of our solar system form a kind of mutually ordered and…
Tattersall: Planetary Resonance
Observations of solar and planetary orbits, rotations, and diameters show that these attributes are related by simple ratios. The forces of gravity and magnetism and the principles of energy conservation, entropy, power laws, and the log-normal distribution which are evident are discussed in relation to planetary distribution with respect to time in the solar system.…
Jelbring: Energy in Solar System
Different types of energy transfer are presented from the literature and are approached and commented on. It follows from these articles that energy transfer in addition to solar irradiation is less well understood by contemporary scientist. The transformation of energy between kinetic and potential energy in planetary orbits might be of crucial importance for understanding…
Mörner: Planetary Beat
Solar activity changes with time in a cyclic pattern. The origin of those changes may be caused by planetary motion around the Sun, affecting the position of the Sun’s motion with respect to the centre of mass and subjecting the Sun to changes in angular momentum and gravitational tidal forces. With modern achievements, this multi-body…
Solheim: Planets Sun Earth Climate
The best method for identification of planetary forcing of the Earth’s climate is to inves-tigate periodic variations in climate time series. Some natural frequencies in the Earth climate system seem to be synchronized to planetary cycles and amplified to a level of detection. The response by the Earth depends on location, and in a global…
