    Just a brief note:
    My paper linking the LOD’s decadal oscillation to the solar magnetic cycles has been published and is available on line (front page)
    https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01071375/document
    for the rest see pages 2&3, all data on page 4.

    Hmmm… smoothing a time series to look for underlying trends? No thanks.

    About a 4 – 5yr peak to peak cycle there . Nice to see the climate shift jolt in 1976
    and something around 2001

    Also of interest is the erratic change in rhythm ( 10 yr) either side of the 1976 climate regime shift

    where the symmetric beat becomes less defined and more chaotic. Bifurcation theory suggests a period of chaos when moving from one rhythm /regime to another

    Notice the new regime post 1986 has a higher amplitude and longer cycle length. The new regime rhythm became established about 1990

    I have seen this in other climate graphs. In particular the SH/NH global temp time series comes to mind.You can see A regime shift between the NH and SH .BI POLAR TEMP, CYCLE..and the order chaos order transition
    when was sth hemisphere hotter than nth hem since 1979

    I would like to correlate this UK rainfall graph with ENSO and maybe schwabe cycle

    The likely cause of the regime shift is a number of cyclic variables moving in and out of phase.

    Important to link solar system dynamics to the 1976 climate shift .

    What changes occurred in solar system dynamics from 1962-1988 when bifurcation was possibly underway.

    order > chaos > order..
