Congratulations to Nicola Scafetta, who has successfully published a new paper on sea level rise Multi-scale dynamical analysis (MSDA) of sea level recordsversus PDO, AMO, and NAO indexes in the journal Climate Dynamics. This is a major paper, which undertakes a comprehensive review of recent studies, which diverge widely in their findings. He finds that the main […]

Congratulations! to Nicola Scafetta and Richard C Willson on the publication of their new paper: Planetary harmonics in the historical Hungarian aurora record (1523–1960). This is another excellent paper, published in Planetary and Space Science. Grabbitquick before I take it offline. Scafetta always makes papers available later if you miss this one. The Hungarian record goes back […]
Nicola Scafetta Comments on "Solar Trends And Global Warming" by Benestad and Schmidt
Posted: January 28, 2013 by tallbloke in solar system dynamicsReblogged from Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr.: On July 22 2009 I posted on the new paper on solar forcing by Lean and Rind 2009 (see). In that post, I also referred to the Benestad and Schmidt 2009 paper on solar forcing which has a conclusion at variance to that in the Lean and Rind paper. After the […]
Nicola Scafetta: Does the Sun work as a nuclear fusion amplifier of planetary tidal forcing?
Posted: May 18, 2012 by tallbloke in Astrophysics, Cycles, Energy, Gravity, methodology, Solar physics, solar system dynamics, TidesCongratulations to Nicola Scafetta, who has just published another major paper on the relationship between planetary cycles and solar activity variation. This new paper explores a viable physical mechanism which potentially explains the now well known correlations the solar-planetary community has been discovering and documenting here at the Talkshop and elsewhere on the net (see […]

D-day: Loehle and Scafetta create the beachhead
Posted: July 26, 2011 by tallbloke in Astrophysics, climate, Ocean dynamics, Solar physics, solar system dynamicsA new paper by Nicola Scafetta and Craig Loehle has been published in the Open Atmospheric Science Journal 5:74-86. Building on Scafetta’s previous recent papers it posits that 60 and 20 year cycles linked to the solar barycentric orbit affect the terrestrial climate and coupled with a trend possibly due to co2 corresponding to the […]
Nicola Scafetta sent me a pre-print of his new paper yesterday. The full pre-print can be downloaded here: http://arxiv.org/abs/1005.4639. In the meantime, here is the abstract. Scafetta, N., Empirical evidence for a celestial origin of the climate oscillations and its implications. Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics (2010), doi:10.1016/j.jastp.2010.04.015 We investigate whether or not the […]
Roger Andrews: A New Climate Index – The Northern Multidecadal Oscillation
Posted: April 15, 2013 by tallbloke in Cycles, Dataset, general circulation, Natural Variation, Ocean dynamics, solar system dynamicsMy thanks to Roger Andrews, who sent me this guest post a little while ago and has been very patiently waiting for me to publish it. I had a good look around Bob Tisdale’s site before deciding to go ahead, to check he hadn’t already done the same thing. I can’t find anything directly comparable, […]
Time for another look at the possible planetary effect on solar variability as Callebaut and de Jager are rebutted
Posted: April 10, 2013 by tallbloke in Astrophysics, Solar physics, solar system dynamics, TidesOne year ago. Anthony Watts published an article on wattsupwiththat.com about a paper By Callebaut, Duhau and de Jager which concluded in part: [T]he planetary effects are too small by several orders of magnitude to be a main cause of the solar cycle (they can be at most a small modulation); moreover, they fail to […]
