Wilson: VEJ Spin-Orbit-Coupling
A Venus–Earth–Jupiter spin–orbit coupling model is constructed from a combination of the Venus– Earth–Jupiter tidal-torquing model and the gear effect. The new model produces net tangen-tial torques that act upon the outer convective layers of the Sun with periodicities that match many of the long-term cycles that are found in the 10Be and 14C proxy
Jelbring: Celestial Commensurabilities
Commensurabilities are calculated based on published orbital periods of planets and satellites. Examples are given for commensurabilities that are strong or very strong. There are sets of com-mensurabilities that involve 3–4 celestial bodies. Our moon–Earth system is probably a key system forming commensurabilities with all the inner planets. The existence and structure of commensurabilities indicate
Charvatova and Hejeda: Cycles Sun-Earth
Reconstructions of solar–terrestrial (ST) phenomena, in sufficient quality, several thousands of years backward by means of radiocarbon (14C), 10Be or 18O isotopes have been employed for study of possible responses of the ordered (trefoil) and disordered intervals (types) of the solar inertial motion (SIM) as well as of the 370 yr exceptional segments occurring in
Scafetta and Willson: Planets and Sun
Herein we adopt a multiscale dynamical spectral analysis technique to compare and study the dynamical evolution of the harmonic components of the overlapping ACRIMSAT/ACRIM3 (Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor Satellite/Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor 3), SOHO/VIRGO (Solar and Heliopheric Observatory/Variability of solar Irradiance and Gravity Oscillations), and SORCE/TIM (Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment/Total Irradiance Mon-itor)
Solheim: Sunspot Cycle Length and Planets
The Schwabe frequency band of the sunspot record since 1700 has an average period of 11.06 years and contains four major cycles, with periods of 9.97, 10.66, 11.01 and 11.83 years. Analysis of the O-C residuals of the timing of solar cycle minima reveals that the solar cycle length is modulated by a secular period
Mörner et. al: General Conclusions
In a collection of research papers devoted to the problem of solar variability and its origin in planetary beat, it is demonstrated that the forcing function originates from gravitational and inertial effects on the Sun from the planets and their satellites. This conclusion is shared by nineteen co-authors. https://scienceofclimatechange.org/wp-content/uploads/Morner-et-al-2013-PRP-General-Conclusions.pdf
Scafetta and Mörner: A Giant Solar Flare
On 7 January, 2014 at 18:32 GMT, the Sun unleashed a massive X1.2-class solar flare, seventimes the size of the Earth (NASA News, 2014b). At the occasion there was a strict triple inferior conjunction of Jupiter, Earth and Venus with respect to the Sun. The strength of the tidal planetary forcing on the Sun proposed
Scafetta: Errors in Global Warming
Herein I discuss common errors in applying regression models and wavelet filters used to analyze geophysical signals. I demonstrate that: (1) multidecadal natural oscillations (e.g. the quasi 60 yr Multidecadal Atlantic Oscillation (AMO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO)) need to be taken into account for properly quantifying anomalous background accelerations in tide
Robbins: Sea Surface Temperature and CO2
Close examination of the small perturbations within the atmospheric CO2 trend, as measured at Mauna Loa, reveals a strong correlation with variations in sea surface temperatures (SSTs), most notably with those in the tropics. The temperature-dependent process of CO2 degassing and ab-sorption via sea surfaces is well-documented, and changes in SSTs will also coincide with
Green&Soon: Are Climate Model Forecasts Useful for Policy Making?
Effect of Variable Choice on Reliability and Predictive Validity For a model to be useful for policy decisions, statistical fit is insufficient. Evidence that the model provides out-of-estimation-sample forecasts that are more accurate and reliable than those from plausible alternative models, including a simple benchmark, is necessary. The UN’s IPCC advises governments with forecasts of
