Sunspot numbers rise and fall with an ~ 11 - year period, slowly oscillating between Solar Max and Solar Min.
As
the sunspot number rises or falls, the distribution of energy within the spectrum of sunlight also changes.
Not exact matches
The pattern is of a slow
rise in the
number of neutrinos arriving, followed by a more rapid decline over the four years during which
sunspot activity
rises to its peak.
The reconstructed
sunspot number shows in particular a minimum at about 7k, slow
rise to a maximum at 4.5 k and decrease again.
An integration of the
sunspot number shows us that the ocean heat content
rose all the way from 1934 to 2003.
Quite evident in the most recent several hundred years of the isotopic records is a seventy - year period of very low solar activity in the 17th and early 18th centuries — known as the Maunder Minimum — and following it, an unsteady, long - term
rise to the present - day era of high
sunspot numbers, called the Modern Maximum (Fig. 2 c, d).
(re) established in this blog we have: — there is an Atlantic oscillation, which might produce a 30 year long
rising surface temperature trend — the
sunspot number had some (positive) correlation with the climate in the past and is unusual high for the last 50 years — there might be uncertainties in the temperature measurements (UHI for example)-- specially for Tony: around 1880 it was cold most likely because of the sun!
