Research hints that solar cycle affects cyclone intensity.
October 8 2008
This newsletter from Nature magazine suggests that the sun does have a
noticeable effect on temperature and indirect on hurricane activity.
AND.... the good news, it is published in a real PEER reviewed Journal
From Nature.Com
Sunspot-hurricane link proposed
Jeff Tollefson
Controversial research hints that solar cycle affects cyclone intensity.
A new study suggests that more sunspots mean less intense hurricanes on
Earth. But many hurricane experts are cool on the idea. James Elsner, a
climatologist at Florida State University in Tallahassee, has analyzed
hurricane data going back more than a century.
He says he has identified a 10- to 12-year cycle in hurricane records
that corresponds to the solar cycle, in which the Sun>s magnetic
activity rises and falls.
The idea is that increased solar activity - associated with sunspots -
means more ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth>s upper atmosphere.
That warms the airs aloft and decreases the temperature differential
between high and low elevations that otherwise would fuel hurricanes.

A teacher told me this back in the 1940s. Is someone rehashing old science
papers? |

It was true back then as well.
So what>s your point?
Also, what do you mean by "old science"?

Of course it was true back then. I meant old 'science papers' not 'old
science' papers.
Is something I was taught in the 1940s being put forward as result of new
research. |
