«But when we consider
that phase cycle variations can be up to 100,000 times fainter than the host star, these detections become truly astonishing.»
Not exact matches
An artist's rendering of an exoplanet with cloudy mornings and clear, scorching afternoons, exhibiting a
cycle of
phase variations that occur as different portions of the planet are illuminated by its star, as seen from Earth.
Astronomers at the University of Toronto, York University and Queen's University Belfast used measurements of the
phase variations of six exoplanets obtained by the Kepler space telescope to forecast their daily weather
cycle.
Even though the length of a woman's menstrual
cycle can vary from
cycle to
cycle, the
variation occurs during the period of time before ovulation (the pre-ovulatory or folicular
phase of the menstrual
cycle).
There are two
variations, one for
Phase I and the other for
Phase II of the menstrual
cycle.
Carb
cycling diets are common as fat loss tools, so it would be interesting to see if it is really the
phases corresponding to best nutrient utilization, or simply the
variation in the diet.
CO2 concentrations are meaningless — it's water in all it's
phases reacting to
variations in solar irradiance brought on by various solar
cycles and orbital
cycles that controls climate — PERIOD!
The solar application offers the potential for the long - range prediction of SOI behavior and associated rainfall
variations, since quasi-periodicity in solar activity results in an expected
cycle of situations and
phases that are not random events.
Since nothing is happening beyond normal
variation in the climate or weather, not even trends (with 1000 year plus
cycles a short
phase will look like a trend), then there is no measurable basis for claiming CO2 is changing the climate.
However, although the latter varies significantly from
cycle to
cycle (as reflected in different
cycle magnitudes varying by a factor of 2), the tilt angle exhibits roughly the same
variations over all
cycles, in accord with the idea of a regular cyclic behaviour (Suess et al. 1993; Cliver & Ling 2001; Alanko - Huotari et al. 2007), depending only on the solar
cycle phase and not on its strength.
The basic arguments against the existence of such a relationship are that
variations in climatic parameters do not always occur synchronously with the corresponding 11 - and 22 - year solar
cycles: the
phase shift between climatic and solar
variations is inconstant and changes with time from 0 ° to 180 °.
During the descending
phase, the tilt angle fluctuates essentially, and these
variations differ from
cycle to
cycle.
Amplitudes, rates, periodicities and causes of temperature
variations in the past 2485 years and future trends over the central - eastern Tibetan Plateau Chinese Science Bulletin Oct. 2001 with a forecast - temperature decrease 2006 - 2060... The «trending up» is a consequence of the
phase of the longer «1000 years» and «210 years»
cycles, with n assumed maximum over 2000 - 2020.
Yet
variations of up to 0.2 C occur in
phase with the solar
cycle.
It also gives us a degree of seperateness / independence between ocean and solar
cycling that goes a long way to explaining the correlation problems which would then most likely arise from
phasing differences between solar and oceanic
variations.
The only use of controversial was in this sentence from AR4: «an empirical association of cloud cover
variations during 1984 to 1990 and the solar
cycle remains controversial because of uncertainties about the reality of the decadal signal itself, the
phasing or anti-
phasing with solar activity, and its separate dependence for low, middle and high clouds.»
