The later two would also effect the earths LOD. I keep running across of evidence of a step change in the pacific climate in 1976 that is quite discrete and has yet to unwind itself. Your paper in 2011 is clearly the key to understanding this as yet I do not see it clearly. Do you have any thoughts on why 1976 is so significant in the pacific? Any forecast from your work on when the step change might reverse?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10467891748588139420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965766791260152878.post-68895522066794490732015-09-20T07:24:14.944-07:002015-09-20T07:24:14.944-07:00chuckle ...

This aligns with the previous comments on the PDO article as repeated below; <br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Your best bet is to go back to a place in the climate record where the Atlantic Meridional Oscillation (AMO) is negative, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) is positive, the ENSO goes through an El Nino[2015]/La Nina[2016] cycle and the Sun is in a Dalton-like Minimum in its magnetic activity cycle.<br /><br />If you can find a point in the climate record where this has happened just look at how the world climate responded - however - be a little bit more careful at regional levels - since they are much more nuanced.<br /><br />Here is my best guess:<br /><br />AMO is a 30 year cooling cycle last from ~ 2000-2030<br />The reduced level of solar activity indicates a cooling period lasting from ~ 2005-2035<br /><br />PDO is a warming cycle that could last for a decade or two.<br />There will be EL Nino warming events in 2015, 2019-20, (2023), 2024 and 2027.<br /><br />I think that I am saying that at this staged we can only make an educated guess about what will actually take place.<br />Reply<br />AnonymousApril 22, 2015 at 6:19 PM<br /><br />Ninderthana,<br />Thanks for your comment. I did some amateurish googling to see if I could find a period of a falling AMO, a rising PDO and low sun activity.<br />The records don't go back as far as Dalton, but it seems the 1960's have a rough match.<br />From what I can see the broad weather patterns of the 1960's were;<br />Australia; good rains (especially in the West), moving to drought, especially in the East<br />USA; Hurricanes early on, moving on to some very cold years<br />Europe; Cold and dry<br />India; Some cyclones and floods early on, moving to drought in mid-1960's.<br />Southern Africa; good rains.<br />...a very slightly educated guess on the way forward .

Thanks for the reference.<br /> <br /> However, looking at the KOLVANKAR paper, I smell a rat. Whenever you get a 45 degree straight-line relationship in a graph that is very tight, it is usually because:<br /><br />a) you are unwittingly plotting one variable against its self.<br /><br />or<br /><br />b) you are plotting two variables (that are not necessarily related to each other) that are heavily scaled by another third variable.<br /><br />An example of the later is plotting the luminosity of stars at one wavelength against their luminosity at another wavelength. Since the luminosity of the star (at any given wavelength) depends upon the square of the distance of the star, any uncertainties in stellar distances to the star will produce a wonderfully tight 45 degree linear relationship between the stellar luminosities of the stars that you are plotting. <br /><br />I will get back to you on this one.

KOLVANKAR Former scientist, BARC, Mumbai 400051, India http://www.ncgt.org/newsletter.php?action=download&id=130<br /><br />"It was found that nearly 98% of the earthquakes for different regions, examined for the period 1973-2008, show a direct relationship between the Sun’s position and the earthquake-moon distance together with the Sun-Earth-Moon angle. As the time changes from 00-24 hours, the sum of the earthquake-moon distance and the Sun-Earth-Moon angle changes through 360 deg, and plotting these two variables for different earthquakes reveals a simple 45 deg straight-line relationship between them."@whuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297101284358849575noreply@blogger.com
