Physico-empirical models of Sun system’s, solar, and climatic steady variations. 

Abstract

 

The complexity of the climate system is too great for the creation of the prognostic physico-chemical models at present time. The suggested paradigm connects stable oscillations of the Northern Hemisphere Temperature (NHT) with Sun system’s, solar, and terrestrial periodic processes. The physico-empirical model is based on the paradigm and a three hundred year tree ring series (1656-1967). Its prognostic ability to generate multiperiodic systematic climate signals was verified by the independent reconstruction of NHT for 1400-1977 and by instrumental observation of NHT for 1844-1992. The verification showed that the model could be used to predict the main natural variation of NHT at least until 2100 and to detect the anthropogenic aperiodic climate signal due to greenhouse gases.

Keywords: the Sun system, solar-terrestrial processes, natural oscillations, climatic models, forecasts, original climatic signals, feedbacks, greenhouse signals.

 

1.     Introduction

 

            Investigations of variations of solar and climatic processes, and also researches of the evolution of the atmosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere raise problems of seeking the sources of cyclical processes. The problems of cyclicity exist in all space-time scales available to science - from the micro-world to the Universe, from minimal parts of second to tens of billions of years (Berry, 1992).

            Two opposed approaches are being pursued in parallel. The main range of problems here is linked with interaction of internal (endogenous) and external (exogenous) components of the observed processes. In accordance with exogenous viewpoint, the causes of the Earth’s and the Sun’s cyclicity are associated with external sources located outside terrestrial and solar bodies. From the endogenous point of view cyclical and other processes are a direct consequence of the actual development of the Earth or the Sun, which have their own auto-oscillatory and intrinsic frequencies. The endogenous models of the solar and terrestrial processes are being predominantly investigated by scientists and are backed by well-developed theories.

            For example, mainly internal global physico-chemical climate models help to understand the depth of the problem of the climate prediction. They are becoming more and more intricate and costly in term of human and computer resources (Moor III, 1996), but their prognostic value is increasing only gradually (Huebert, 1999). The internal models of the solar processes explain 11-year cyclicity by generation and regeneration of magnetic fields with specific movement of solar substance (Babcock, 1961, Leighton, 1969). These solar models have a limited forecast value likewise internal climate models, due to the limitation of measurable data and the absence of links with external sources of stable oscillations. The solar and terrestrial internal models are very useful for investigating physico-chemical processes and relationships among principal components of complicated bodily processes.

            Main external models of the climate are related with solar-terrestrial physics. The effects of solar variability on the surface environment were recently referred by Reid (1999), Lean and Rind (1999). The total irradiance is known to vary at the level of 0.1% on the time scales up to that of the 11-year solar activity cycle (White et al., 1997, Pap and Frohlich, 1999). Variations in the range of 0.5-1,0% on 100-year time scales would be sufficient to explain the whole global climate variability of the last several centuries (Eddy, 1976, Bottomley et al., 1990, Reid, 1997). The second category of solar variability involves variations in spectral irradiance. The albedos of clouds, the ocean and land surfaces are wavelength dependent, but little is known about spectral irradiance variability. The third aspect of solar variability is that of the solar wind, which modulates both the flux of galactic cosmic rays to the Earth atmosphere and the strength of the global electric field. There is supposedly a relationship between cloud cover over certain areas of the Earth and variations of cosmic ray and electric field for a period of about one and a half 11-year cycles. The major advance in recent years has been the acceptance of solar variability as at least a potential cause of change in our environment (Reid, 1999).

            The external barycentric model of the solar processes is based on calculated functions of the Sun’s movement about the centre of the gravity of the solar system (barycenter), such functions as changes in the orbital angular momentum, as changes in the acceleration components. The power spectra of these functions have periods which are, with the exception of 11, 22 and 89-year periods, very close to that of double and triple conjunctions of planets and Wolf number’s variations (Khlystov at al. 1992). This model or similar ones would be a very good base for climate predictions if the spectral characteristics of the Sun and the Earth were known, but it is not clear now how external periodic actions are transformed in solar and terrestrial processes. That is why solar and climate periods, since they have not coincided exactly with the spectra of the barycenter movement, should be directly investigated for the creation of the long-term forecast of the changes in the solar activity and climate.

            It should be noted that the division of our interrelated world into internal and external fields has its own merits and drawbacks. In the search for the causes of the regular variations of heliogeophysical processes the shortcomings of such division are beginning to predominate. The Earth and the Sun are open systems, included in the resonant solar system, in which forced, intrinsic and auto-oscillatory processes are synchronized and have a complex genesis.

For example, we have had a very bright illustration of the influence of the auto-oscillatory process with the periods about 100 ka on the climate system in the Pleistocene - Holocene Epochs. The turning point of forming the oscillatory cell happened when the Arctic Ocean was covered by pack ice (0.7Ma BP) and the heat of the Gulf Stream was isolated from arctic air. After that time, the long glacier (~90 ka), with ice sheets (60-75 Mkm3) on all northern continents, and short interglacial (~10ka) periods, which coincide with orbital cycles of the Earth, have determined changes in permafrost, geomorphology, tectonics and geodynamics (Berry, B.L., 1998a,b).

The purpose of this paper is not to review the many solar and climatic variables and their periods that have appeared in the literature, but rather to discuss the principal mechanisms of the appearance of the decadal and centennial stable cyclicity of the solar system, a relationship between solar and terrestrial variability, and the possibilities of the use of these periodic processes for long-term climate predictions.

 

2.     Components of climatic processes and forecasting models.

 

            Natural climate fluctuations are the sum of systematic (periodic/aperiodic) and random components.

Systematic components may be represented either with the aid of physical-chemical sub-models (simple numerical, global circulation, and other models), if the mechanisms of their origin have been identified, or with the aid of physical-empirical models, if the mechanisms have not been conclusively established. Physical-empirical models use series of proxy and instrumental climate indicators and their approximations by different functions, for example, harmonic ones. The main causes for the appearance of harmonic climate components are the tidal (It ) and momentum (Mrev ) interactions of the celestial bodies in the solar system, which revolve on approximately circular orbits around the Sun. Only the planets of Mars and Pluto don’t really participate in forming cycles of solar system because they have small parameters It and Mrev simultaneously (Table 1).

Random components are the difference between a natural process and the sum of its systematic parts. The principal reason for the presence of random anomalies relates to short-term interactions of the bodies of the solar system with the comets and stars of the jet galactic streams and also to the natural random fluctuations in solar and terrestrial processes (Berry, 1992, 1998b).

The prognostic climate models for the time intervals from one year to several millions years should include all main processes of the Sun system, the Sun, and the Earth in corresponding time scales. For the time intervals of more than 10 million years it is necessary to take into account the processes connected with solar system movement around the central disk of our Galaxy (Berry, 1992).

            Reliable predictions of future changes require the creation of physico-empirical climate models, which have the physical sense and could be provided with empirical data, and which will prove effective in simulating long-term past changes that can be reconstructed using different proxy climate indicators (Mann et al., 1998), such as, for example, tree ring widths. The models can incorporate internal physico-chemical sub-models of different parts of the processes involved.

 

3.     The Sun system’s model of discrete natural periods.

 

Steady discrete oscillations with periods of at least up to 2Ma, including earth orbital alterations, that change fluxes of energy to the earth surface and their distribution in the Earth shelves, are formed inside the solar system (Berry, 1998b).

Long evolution of the Sun system led to the resonance and commensurabilities in periods of planet and satellite revolutions with accuracy of about 10-3 related to a ratio of the mass of planets to the mass of the Sun (Molchanov, 1966). This determines the precision of the following calculation. The periods of a resonance system can be approximately expressed by the geometrical progression (Berry, 1991), which is similar to the geometrical progression for accounting frequencies (periods) of discrete musical instruments, for example, the piano (FP ):

FP = F0 2P / n = 440 2P / 12Hz                                            (1)

where F0 = 440Hz is the frequency of the note A4; P is sequence of whole numbers, the number of a note FP; n = 12 is the amount of notes into any octave.

There are exact data only about revolution and rotation periods of celestial bodies, but we should determine all main free frequencies (periods) of the solar system. Let’s imagine ourselves an old musical instrument having not more than one string in separate octaves. The solution of the inverse problem is to know how many notes into an octave this instrument had. We gave the answer by the method of consecutive comparison of terms of different geometrical progressions with the revolution periods of planets (9 periods) and the satellites of heliotidal planets, the Earth and Jupiter (14 periods) and assessment dispersions of deviation to meet Fisher criterion (Berry, 1998b). Analyzed periods are changing from 0.5d to 247y and composing the range in 18 octaves. The piano row has only 7 octaves.

As a result we have taken the geometrical progression (TK) that best statistically describes the discrete spectrum of the natural oscillation periods of the solar system:

TK = T0 2K / n = 0.075 2 K / n  y                                    (2)

where TK  are periods of oscillation of the Sun system; T0 = 27.32d = 0.075y  is the sidereal period of the moon revolution; K is the sequence of whole numbers, the number of a period TK; n = 16 is the amount of harmonics in an octave.

Checking of the physical empirical formula (2) showed that the structure of rhythms with 16 periods into an octave has determined cosmic, solar and terrestrial processes, i.e., the Galaxy has a common system of discrete frequencies (Berry, 1998b). This approach can be used with any time intervals. If the discrete musical instruments had the above-mentioned octaves they would be more natural, but the music would change, because only four notes would be the same. The equation (2) is very convenient to classify terrestrial, solar, and other cycles.

            An example of the periodical structure (2), detected in dendrochronological (D) series, is given in Table 2, where N is the number of the note in the octave. The harmonics of these series reflect climate variations in the last 300y (Berry, 1998b). Bold figures show the harmonics of the variations in the Northern Hemisphere Temperature (NHT).

 

4.     Periods and amplitudes in natural oscillations.

 

Planets control 99.5% of the orbital angular momentum of the solar system, and the large outer planets have 99.8% of the all planets’ momentum (parameter Mrev in Table 1). During the motion of these large planets, the barycenter’s movement changes the distances r j between celestial bodies of the system and the center of its gravity; i. e. changes the velocities of the Sun and planets. The Sun’s accelerations create stable oscillations in the solar processes when the Sun is revolving about the unsteady barycenter of the system. All bodies of the system have the same perturbation periods related with the barycenter’s movement, but these periods have the different amplitudes, because all planets and the Sun have various forces of interaction, masses (m j ) and moments:

rj = (M rev j / 2p m rev j  )1/2(T rev j ) 1/2                                                  (3)

where rj and T rev j  are an orbital radius and period, M rev j is orbital angular momentum. The equation can be easily derived from the law of conservation of the momentum.

            The law of conservation of angular momentum (M ang) creates a similar picture for the rotations of planets and the Sun around their central axes. The shape of celestial bodies, including the solar and terrestrial ellipsoids, has been transformed by the gravity of other planets (parameter I t in Table 1) and that automatically changes the period (T j ) or the frequency (F j ) of the rotation, the radii (R j ) of ellipsoids, or amplitudes (A j ) of variations:

                        R j = (5M ang j / 2p 2 m j ) 1/2(T ang j  ) 1/2                                       (4)

            Comparison of equations (3 and 4) has shown that we have had specific oscillations, which display the following relationship between Aj and Tj (Berry, 1991):

Aj2Fj = cj ,     Aj = (cj Tj )1/2,          or         Aj = s (Tj )1/2,         (5)

where s = (cj )1/2cang=5M ang  j  / 2p 2 m j ,  c rev =M rev j / 2p m j .  Periods Tj and amplitudes Aj are variable, but s  is constant for homogeneous series of natural cycles.

            These spectra relate to basic physical laws and are detected in all processes (Berry, 1991). We can obtain a relationship, which is analogous to the equation (5) from Bohr’s quantum condition

                                                m rn2 v = nh/2p,                                             (6)

                        or         rn = s (Tj )1/2,                                              (7)

where h is Plank’s constant,  n  and  rn  are the quantum number of the orbit and its radius,  v  and  T  are the angular frequency and period,  is the mass of an electron, s = (n h / 2p m)1/2.

It is important that the coefficient s be used in a similar way to classify the series of solar and planetary periods, as it usually does for the series of the electromagnetic quantum’s frequencies.

 

5.     Physico-empirical Model of Northern Hemisphere Temperature Anomalies (MNHTA).

 

Tidal interactions ( It ) of the Sun with Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Jupiter, and also the movement of the Sun about the center of gravity of the system (barycenter), which changes its position during displacements of the large outer planets (Mrev, Table 1), create the common cycles of the solar and climatic system.

Orbital movements of planets stabilize variations in the processes of the Sun and in its positions with respect to the barycenter movements. Cycles of solar activity and Moon-Sun tidal waves produce a system of geophysical oscillations on the Earth (Berry, 1992). The Sun system presents a wide set of oscillations of varying frequencies (2). The periods can be detected only when they exert a significant influence on solar and planetary processes forming forced fluctuations, or when they resonate with intrinsic and auto-oscillatory rhythms.

            Because of periodic processes in the solar system, MNHTA may be detected from the well-chosen series of proxy climate indicators or paleoclimate reconstructions, as the sum of several harmonics (cosinusoids):

            t NH  = M+ a Y+å A j cos (2p Y / T j  - j j  )                          (8)

where  t NH   is the average annual northern hemisphere temperature, C°,  M  is the average meaning of the series, C°a  is a trend coefficient, C°/ y, Y - a number of years from the beginning of the series, y T j  and A j   are periods, y, and amplitudes, C°,  of climatic oscillations,  j j   is phases of the oscillations, radian.

There are consistent patterns in the variations of average meteorological elements during changes of mean northern hemisphere temperature (Manabe, Wetherald, 1980, Vinnikov, Groyisman, 1982). Links between the annual surface air temperature of the Northern Hemisphere and regional climatic characteristics permit the creation of seasonal maps of changes in regional temperature and precipitation during global warming (Kovyneva, 1984), and the identification of regions where proxy climate indicators are representative for the global climate. That is why the global temperature can be considered as the main climate characteristic.

A representative dendrochronological series (1656-1967), similar in the shape to the curves of annual NHT (1841-1967), was obtained in the lower courses of the River Ob from the radial growth of larch trees (Berry et al., 1983). Correlation coefficient for common interval (1844-1964) of 7-year averaged series is r = 0.60 (Table 3). The confidence level for the correlation equals 99.9% in accordance with the formula for large samples (p.517) and the table of critical values (p.655) from Mason (1982). The next work in this field of knowledge, which based on high-latitude tree-ring data from North America, was published 6 years later (Jacoby, D’Arrigo, 1989).

The harmonic approximation (8) of the tree ring series, r = 0.755 (Table 3), or the physical-empirical model of systematic climate oscillations (Fig. 1), includes a very small linear trend (a  = 7.14 10-5) and the main 12 periods (TC) from 7 to 230y with bigger amplitudes (Berry et al., 1983, Berry, 1992).

            In addition to the external periodic actions of solar processes and solar-lunar tidal waves, the resulting model also contains the internal periodic actions of positive and negative terrestrial feedbacks that change the amplitude but not the frequency characteristics of the original signals. The complex genesis of the all detected 16 harmonics of the natural climate variations is shown in Table 4. The isolation of constituent processes and the quantitative determination of cause-effect relationships are extremely difficult in these conditions (Berry, 1992).

            For example, the negative terrestrial feedback, connected with volcanic influences on the climate, includes a periodical part (58, 31, 22, 17, 13, 7, and 4y) related to the rhythms of global seismicity (Table 4). The links between volcanic and seismic processes explain the correlation (r = -0.6 for the 7-year intervals of averaging) between NHTA and global seismicity (Berry, 1992, 1997). Besides that, the seismicity and angular velocity of the Earth have common periods or ones divisible by 2K (Table 5) and, naturally, there is a correlation (r =0.7) between them. This velocity changes simultaneously with any alternating of the angular momentum of the Earth, in particular, under the actions of solar-lunar tidal forces which deform the geoid and displace the terrestrial core.

Taking all this into account it is possible to show one of the chains of cause-effect relationships of forming the volcanic feedback: solar system cycles (2), solar-lunar tides, periodic changes in the geoid’s form and the core’s position, in the angular momentum and velocities of the Earth, in strains, stresses, and strength of the terrestrial shelves, in the global seismicity and volcanism, in the volcanic pollution of the atmosphere, in the NHTA. The similar chain of cause-effect relationships changes the heat exchanges between ocean layers, between the ocean surface and atmosphere (Maksimov, 1970).

            Therefore, climate oscillations depend not only on the energetic characteristics of the solar irradiance variations and terrestrial feedbacks but also on the positions of planets, on solar-lunar tidal forces, on the angular velocity of the Earth and the solar activity indices including the direction of magnetic fields of solar spots (Table 4). The absence of precise knowledge or the physical-chemical models, which quantitatively explain all these solar and climate processes, in this case, does not hamper frequency analysis of series of proxy climate indicators, their approximation and extrapolation using harmonic components, or the creation and verification MNHTA.

 

6.     The analysis of the harmonics of the physico-empirical climatic model.

 

            The climatic harmonics displayed in Tables 5 and 6 show good coincidence with equations (2) and (5). There are four series of climatic harmonics. The main climatic ( C ) period (TC131 = 22y, N=4, K=131) supposedly links with the resonant solar frequency and simultaneously with the solar-lunar tidal actions on the Earth, because similar harmonics were detected in the variations of global seismicity (22y) and the angular velocity of the Earth (23y).

            The periods of the 2nd series are harmonics of the main 22-year period: 22*1/2=11y, 22*2/3=14.7@15y, 22*4/5=17.6@18y, 22*5/4=27.5@27y, 22*2=44y, 22*10/3=73.3@73. Climatic periods of series 3 and 4 are also harmonics of main solar system cycles (Table 4, 5) and they related with solar processes and solar-lunar tidal actions, but their influence on NHTA is less than that of previous series. The similar 4 series of the periods were detected in solar cycles, where the main harmonics are 9.86 and 11.17-year periods (Table 7).

The values of sc and sw from Table 6 and 7 show the comparable series of the periods in solar and terrestrial processes. Coefficients s characterize the intensities of influence of the origin processes on the solar activity and climate of the Earth, or the sensitivity of solar and terrestrial processes to the series of cycles. In the original processes s depend on the functions of the orbital angular momenta of the Sun and planets and on tidal interactions of celestial bodies with the Sun and the Earth (5).

Supposedly, the powerful oscillations (series of 1 and 2 from Tables 6 and 7) link with:  intrinsic solar periods (Table 5, N=4, T=11, 22, 44, 88y) and principal conjunctions of Jupiter (which has, in accordance with Table 1, 34.2% of the tidal influence on the Sun and 61.5% of the revolving momentum of the system) with 1) the main heliotidal planets: Mercury, 15.6%, Venus, 32.9%, the Earth, 15.1% (Table 5, N=2, T=9.86y), with 2) the planets possessed of the significant moment of the revolving momentum: Saturn, 24,9%, Uranus, 5.4%, Neptune, 8.0% (Table 5, N=9, T=27y), with 3) the both types of the planets (Table 5, N=11, T=15, 58, 120y), and with solar-lunar tides (Table 5, , N=14, T=8.46y, N=16, T=9.37, 18,73y).

The triple conjunction period of Jupiter, Venus, the Earth (TJVE=44.8y) has 82.2% of the tidal influence and 61.5% of the revolving momentum, the conjunction period of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune (TJSN=178.7y) controls 36.1% and 94.6%, and the period of Jupiter, Venus, Saturn (TJVS=59.7y) possesses 68.8% and 86.4% accordingly. These main conjunction periods are harmonics of each other and the intrinsic solar period: 178.7*1/8=22.3, 178.7*1/4=44.7, and 178.7*1/3=59.6, so there is a complete resonance in original periods. All solar and terrestrial periodic components have mixed resonant external genesis combined with mixed internal genesis, which includes the different types of feedbacks.

 

7. The verification of MNHTA.

 

Coincidence of the main oscillations of the climate and the solar activity can be seen better when 11-year solar periods transformed in 22-year harmonics. Comparison of the modelled climatic and Sun spot numbers’ (W) oscillations indicates the synchrony of the processes in question (Fig. 2). The neighboring 11-year cycles of W correspond to the different orientation of the magnetic fields of the spots (22-year cycle of Hale). In the graph, the even-numbered 11-year cycles correspond to negative W values and depressed temperatures and the odd-numbered ones to positive W values and increased air temperatures.

During the odd-numbered cycles, solar followed spots have mostly negative (south) polarity in the northern hemisphere of the Sun, and in the south hemisphere they have mostly positive (north) polarity. In this case the vectors of the magnetic fields of the plasma of the solar wind and the magnetosphere have common direction. Presumably, it is one of the main reasons of the relatively more compression of the magnetosphere, of the rising pressure and temperature in the atmosphere during the odd cycles.

            From the well-reconstructed NHTA (1400-1902) averaged over 7 years (Mann et al., 1998), it is possible to verify the physical-empirical model of the NHTA and to check the possibilities of a long-term prediction using paleoclimate data (Fig. 3, 4). The hindcasted 255-year interval (1403-1658) is almost equal to the length of the primary proxy climate indicator period, 1659-1964 (305y). A good correlation between MNHTA and reconstructed/observed NHTA, between MNHTA and Sun spot numbers exists through the interval of signal detection (1659 - 1964) and also persists in the extrapolated portions of the graph before 1659 and after 1964 when the dendrochronological series breaks off (Table 3, Fig. 1-4).

Besides that modelled NHTA place inside the corridor of the standard deviation of the RNHTA (Fig 3). The model simultaneously generates the anomalies of decreased temperatures coinciding with well-known solar activity minima such as the Sporer (1450-1550), Maunder (1645-1715) and Dalton (1790-1830) minima (Lean, Rind, 1999). Confidence levels of the correlation for 200-year intervals (95%, 99% and more), which means were taken from the work (Mann et al., 1998), show the reliability of the prediction in the past for 260 years (Fig. 3, Table 3), so we can predict the future natural variations of NHTA at least for 130 years for 1964-2100 interval.

 

7. Internal systematic climate signal (ISCS).

 

The difference between the reconstructed/observed NHT and variations related with MNHTA equals the sum of random and systematic aperiodic components of solar and terrestrial processes. Beginning from 1900 the internal systematic climate signal (ISCS), related with greenhouse gases, detected resolutely by averaging the difference, mentioned above, over 50 years to reduce anomalies from the random components (Fig. 4). The same signal detected from 1925 in the case of 7-year averaging (Fig. 3, 4).

Nevertheless, it should be mentioned, that the clear detection of ISCS in 1900 and 1925 links with the climate reconstruction considered, which has the big temperature step on the edge of the 20th century. This reconstruction was used to calibrate the climate model (Fig. 3, 4). If the climate model being only adapted by the measured data as it was shown on Fig. 1, the possible ISCS was absent until 1980.

 

8.     Conclusion

For the first time, this article gives

1.      The new paradigm for climate investigations which connects stable oscillations in mean annual global air temperatures with periodic solar system processes;

2.      The solar system’s and lunar-terrestrial original periods which compose the physico - empirical model of Northern Hemisphere Temperature Anomalies (NHTA) for 600 years;

3.      The correlation between 22-year solar cycles of Hale and modelled NHTA;

4.      The verification of the model by the independent reconstruction of NHTA (600y), by the data of the instrumental measurements of NHTA (150y), by the data of the indexes of the solar spot numbers (300y);

5.      The modelled hindcast (250y) and forecast (30y) of NHTA;

6.      The proof of a possibility of the prediction of the main natural NHTA at least until 2100;

7.      The detection of the internal aperiodic climate signal (ISCS) due to greenhouse gases, as a difference between independent measured/reconstructed NHTA and the modelled periodic NHTA.

Sun - Solar system, Earth - Solar system, heliogeophysical, biogeochemical and other sub-models are already used to predict solar and terrestrial characteristics and processes, to predict the changes in the ISCS associated with increases in greenhouse gas concentrations, to detect the relationship among solar processes, monthly, seasonal, and annual meteorological and other characteristics, the relationship between regional and global air temperatures and also the relationship among meteorological elements, changes in surface conditions, biological production, in historical fuel emission, in global tropospheric chemistry, etc.

Thus, there are wide and promising possibilities for a combined use of the results of different paradigms for the investigation of the climate system. The turn of the millennium should be the time for the coalition of the different solar and terrestrial models of Climatic Signals.
