Influenced by
the large number of sunspots in November of 2011, this work is a collection of «sun spots» or blemishes digitally removed from photographic portraits.
Government scientists want to ignore decades - long unique and rare record - setting solar events, eschew counting sunspots and are more interested in parameterization - gazing than star - gazing, despite the fact that, «During solar maximum,» as anyone can read in wiki, «
large numbers of sunspots appear and the sun's irradiance output grows.»
Not exact matches
interesting that the decoupling
of sunspots and had / crut takes place right around the same time that a
large (and by
large, i mean 30 - 40 %)
number of ground stations were removed from the dataset... doesn't prove anything, but likely worth a look.
One argument is that observation
of low
sunspot numbers (less than 50) tends to coincide with the winter (December - February) and spring (March - May), while
large sunspot numbers tend to coincide with summer (June - July) and autumn (September - November).
During periods
of high solar activity (last several cycles had anomalously
large sunspot numbers), the solar wind deflects more
of these high - energy cosmic rays away from Earth, thereby reducing nucleation / cloud cover and increasing albedo.
