«While the earlier estimate of ± 20 % [Schulz, 2002] is consistent with a solar cycle (the 11 - year sunspot cycle varies in period by ± 14 %), a much higher precision would point more to an orbital cycle.

The results of three separate studies seem to show that even as the current sunspot cycle swells toward the solar maximum, the sun could be heading into a more - dormant period, with activity during the next 11 - year sunspot cycle greatly reduced or even eliminated.

Regarding your other comment, the 11 year sunspot cycle creates a small but detectable oscillation in the Earth's temperature, but it is definitively not responsible for the long term warming seen over the past century and continuing.

The 11 year sunspot cycle roughly corresponds with Jupiter's orbital period.

Variations yes (but in the same climate regime) due to random earthly climatic items changing such as enso, volcanic activity etc etc., which would mask any minor solar changes due to the regular 11 year sunspot cycle once the sun came out of the Dalton Minimum.

There have been many arguments as to whether or not the eleven - year sunspot cycle affects our weather and climate.

@willis: You wrote: «Finally, if your claim is that the sun roolz the climate, then why is there no sign of the ~ 11 year sunspot cycle in the records?»

For example: What drives the 11 - year sunspot cycle, what makes the corona so hot, and how big do solar flares get?

Just keeping count of the number of spots, for example, led to recognition of the 11 - year sunspot cycle that waxes from «solar minimum,» when very few spots are seen, to «solar maximum,» when great conglomerations of planet - size splotches pockmark the photosphere, or visible surface of the sun.

In 2008, the solar wind slowed to a 50 - year low, coinciding with the least active point in the 11 - year sunspot cycle.

Kevin Trenberth, for instance, noted that the satellite observations are accurate enough to track the change in solar insolation from the 11 - year sunspot cycle.

Because SOHO has been watching the sun for so long, astronomers have been able to watch the sun through more than one of its 11 - year sunspot cycles.

The solar activity, which varies with the 11 - year sunspot cycle, also affects the frequency of auroras.

An increase in the sun's irradiance such as occurs over the 11 - year sunspot cycle (or potentially longer time scales) warms the stratosphere (due to increased absorbtion by ozone) but it also warms the troposphere.

What is generally required is a consistent signal over a number of cycles (either the 11 year sunspot cycle or more long term variations), similar effects if the timeseries are split, and sufficient true degrees of freedom that the connection is significant and that it explains a non-negligible fraction of the variance.

«What is generally required [for proving solar forcing of climate change] is a consistent signal over a number of cycles (either the 11 year sunspot cycle or more long term variations), similar effects if the timeseries are split, and sufficient true degrees of freedom that the connection is significant and that it explains a non-negligible fraction of the variance.»

«Though mankind's existence on the face of the earth is certainly a variable for generated heat, such heat is insignificant in comparison to the changes in heat from the sun, specifically compared to the changes in Earth's temperature due to the sun's 11 year sunspot cycle.

Causes of natural variability include forcings that are external to the climate system (e.g., volcanic eruptions and aerosols and the 11 - year sunspot cycle) and internal fluctuations (weather phenomena, monsoons, El Niño / La Niña, and decadal cycles).

The year 2009 marked a particularly low point in the 11 - year sunspot cycle, representing the «deepest solar minimum in nearly a century» according to NASA.

We now know — thanks to recent spaceborne monitoring — that sunlight received at the Earth follows the drum beat of the eleven - year sunspot cycle, with both the total and short wavelength emissions varying in phase with solar activity.

Researchers from Germany, Switzerland and the United States found that the sun's brightness varied by only 0.07 percent over 11 - year sunspot cycles, far too little to account for the rise in temperatures since the Industrial Revolution.»

Since the beginning of the 20th century to about 1940 temperatures increased by about 0.45 oC as a combined effect of an increase in greenhouse emissions and in solar irradiation associated with the 11 - year sunspot cycle (Figure 1).

«While the earlier estimate of ± 20 % [Schulz, 2002] is consistent with a solar cycle (the 11 - year sunspot cycle varies in period by ± 14 %), a much higher precision would point more to an orbital cycle.
