The effect of the 22-year cycle of solar activity on the atmosphere in the Northern Hemisphere
Abstract
The existence of a 22-year cycle in long-term variations in the atmospheric circulation is discussed. Supporting evidence is presented, with references made to previous research. Charts of pressure isoanomalies are compared with charts of isoanomalies in the solar barometric wave, to demonstrate that the 22-year cycle is responsible for 30-50% of the long-term pressure fluctuation.
