New Confirmation of Strong Solar Forcing of Climate

Successful prediction is the ultimate test whether science is in accordance with reality. If it were correct that the Sun's forcing of climate was negligible in the second half of the 20th century ...

Solar Activity a Dominant Factor in Climate Dynamics

Atmospheric circulation, the cause of weather, is driven by the sun’s energy. Climate is the integral of weather over periods of more than a year. This integral also depends on the flux of solar en...

Trends in Pacific Decadal Oscillation Subjected to Solar Forcing

There is a noticeable correlation ( |r| = 0.38) between PDO and ENSO. So it seems conceivable that the state of the inter-decadal PDO constrains the envelope of the inter-annual ENSO variability (M...

Solar Wind Near Earth - Indicator Of Variations In Global Temperature

Abstract. Near-Earth variations in the solar wind, measured by the geomagnetic aa index since 1868, are closely correlated with global temperature (r = 0.96; P < 10-7). Geomagnetic activity leads t...
