Hi Frank, Please correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the conveyor belt theory was used to predict the weakness of the current cycle. Hathaway himself did not predict this weakness:
"NASA's Hathaway, along with colleague Robert Wilson at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco last month, said that Solar Cycle 24 "looks like it's going to be one of the most intense cycles since record-keeping began almost 400 years ago." http://solarchaos.blogspot.com/2008/11/history-of-cycle-24-predictions.html 73, Bill W4ZV On Sat, Jul 11, 2015 at 4:21 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > After hundreds of years of scientific research of sunspot cycles, no long > range > solar cycle forecasting model has ever been able to reliably forecast the > intensity of a solar cycle until after the cycle begins to rise. > Perhaps this will > be the first model to reliably forecast the intensity of future sunspot > cycle, > but no one knows. > > 73 > Frank > W3LPL > > > ------------------------------ > *From: *"Dave Blaschke, w5un" <[email protected]> > *To: *"Bill Tippett" <[email protected]>, "topband" < > [email protected]> > *Sent: *Saturday, July 11, 2015 8:08:09 PM > *Subject: *Re: Topband: Maunder minimum solar cycle in 2030? > > > Bill, > > Interesting stuff, tends well for 160, but I'll be gone by then :>( > > Dave, W5UN > p.s. whatever happened to global warming > > On 7/11/2015 7:16 PM, Bill Tippett wrote: > > > http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3156594/Is-mini-ICE-AGE-way-Scientists-warn-sun-sleep-2020-cause-temperatures-plummet.html > > _________________ > > Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband > > > > _________________ > Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband > > _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
