Comment on Cycles in Sunspot Number Reconstruction for 11,000 Years by Peter Harris

Ray to be frank I am a bit wary about the data published by Stoykova, Shopov et al from studies on the speleothems in Duhata cave Bulgaria covering the period from present to 243KY because it refers to identical data which was published by Shopov in 2004 based on speleothem analysis in Jewel cave South Dakota covering the period 89300Y-133600Y. However the Stoykova study was accepted by JASTP and the data is here by NOAA :ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/speleothem/europe/bulgaria/duhlata2008.txt
The original innovative calibration was conducted by Shopov and published in 2004 here:

. (please let me know if this link does’nt work)
The only match i could find with climate on a preliminary check was his 1460Y cycle which is probably the Bond cycle and which he calibrated as 10W/M2. I think surely these calibrations are overstated and yet his method seems unusual but OK to me. Maybe the Tallbloke might like to take a look too. I have further info if required.
Regards
Peter

Peter, thanks to the link to this interesting paper. I don’t see any link to a place to download the data. I would like to also do some analysis of this series. Regards, Ray

Hello Ray
i would like to draw attention to the data and calibrations based on studies by Prof. Yavor Shopov et al in which 17 long term intense solar/climate cycles are found in cave speleothems as tabulated in this (and many other) study ::http://www.cavernas.org.br/anais26cbe/26CBE_275-278.pdf
With few exceptions the magnitudes and periodicity do not agree with other studies, but his methods seem legitimate.
In particular he cites a cycle of 11500Y with an relative intensity of 100W/M2.
How do you find his data ?
Thanks
Peter .

On Win 7 and Win 8 you need to put the CATS folder somewhere that the system does not interfere. Avoid Program Files and desktop. There is something about this in the documentation. Sorry about this, it was developed on Win XP and only a little testing done on Win 7 and Win 8.

Comment on Say Goodbye to Sunspots? by Ray Tomes

Hi Hass, the present weak solar maximum reflects an average 208 year cycle in the Sun that strongly affects climate. This cycle can be seen in Solar proxies such as C14 and Be10. Please see these pages for more info:

A variety of studies show that human activity is related to solar activity. So we can expect reduced human activity for a period. Already it has been seen that upwards temperature graphs have all leveled off.

Currently, we are at the period of sunspot maximum, but it seems that it is very weak compared to
previous cycle high. What is the implication of very weak cycles societally and economically?
