Solar-QBO-Weather relationship?

    NWS (National Weather Service) ; CR (Central Region)
  • Description:
    For several decades, meteorologists (and others) have pursued a physical relationship between variations in the Sun's output of radiation, magnetism, or particles and changes in the weather on Earth. Evidence supports climatological changes in tropospheric weather at time scales of a century or more, mainly from the coincidence of the Little Ice Age and the Maunder Minimum in sunspot activity. Variations at shorter time scales produced by the 11-year sunspot cycle or the 22-year magnetic variation, however, have been difficult to verify. To date, theories that explain a solar cycle-weather connection at the decennial time scale have been slow to develop as there is little evidence on which such theories may be grounded.
