Structure of Helioclimatic Relations and Their Use in Long- and Superlong-Range Forecasting,
Abstract
Solar activity, expressed by cycles of different orders, exerts an enormous influence on processes in the earth's troposphere, in each specific physiographic region creating definite climatic conditions with a definite variability. The mechanism of interaction between solar activity and the earth's atmosphere is still unknown. Accordingly, the problem of long-range heliophysical forecasting must be solved in the opposite direction, considering any climatic element as the final result of a complex mechanism of solar-terrestrial interaction. Under various physiographic conditions and in each specific year the mechanism of helioclimatic interactions is manifested differently, in dependence on the height of the maximum of the 11-year cycle and its evenness. Each even and odd 11-year cycle forms double 22-year cycle making up the principal 44-year cycles, having the most regular alternation of high and low values. Helioclimatic relationships are determined by using the method of superposing of epochs. (Author)
