Spotless Sun June 29th, 2016  | Spaceweather.com  | SDO/HMI The Sun is spotless again. I hasn’t been this inactive for a hundred years. This week there are a spate of news stories about a little ice age...

Earth and the solar wind.  | Credit: NASA/GSFC There’s a nuclear fusion reactor in the neighborhood that weighs 300,000 times more than Earth. It’s eight minutes away at the speed of light, has 99.8% of...

Could it be the missing key? The solar wind blasts charged particles, electrons, stuff, towards Earth at 500 km a second  — that’s one to two million miles per hour...

Is Force X two different forces? The Sun could influence Earths climate through magnetic fields, solar particle flows, or spectral changes. | Image: ESA There are two key clues, almost contradicting each other, which...

What is Force x? The Sun could influence Earths climate through magnetic fields, solar particle flows, or spectral changes. | Image: ESA What’s going on with the Sun? In the last post in the climate research series...

The notch in the Sun-Earth relationship is the dog that didn’t bark — the clue that was there all along, telling us something about the way the Sun influences Earth’s climate...

Basic models take a top down approach, focusing on gross input and output rather than all the details within the system (which is mainly left to the feedbacks parameter)...

Flagging an update (coming) to Big News Part III Score 1 for open science review, thanks to Bernie Hutchins, an electrical engineer who diligently asked the right questions about something that bothered him regarding the...

Dr David Evans, 8 July 2014 At the introduction to this series of blog posts, we said we’d release the spreadsheet containing all the data, model, and calculations...

Leif Svalgaard claims “TSI has not fallen since 2003″. It’s technically true, but completely misleading when discussing 11 year smoothed trends (which is written on the graph they are criticizing). Willis...

Some people are claiming that the transfer function is meaningless because you could use white noise instead of temperature data and get the same notch...

To recap — using an optimal Fourier Transform, David Evans discovered a form of notch filter operating between changes in sunlight and temperatures on Earth...

All models are wrong, some are useful. That’s how all modelers speak (except perhaps some climate scientists). The barriers to making a good climate model are many. The data is short, noisy, adjusted, and many factors...

Open Science live — The story so far: Dr David Evans is building the O-D notch-delay solar model. It’s a much simpler big-picture approach than Global Climate Coupled Models. They use an ambitious bottom-up system...
