Topband: new NOAA solar cycle prediction

[W7RH]

I read Dr. Zarkova's dissertation regarding weather and energy output 
from the sun several months ago. The  paper which emphasized decreased 
solar output during solar minima not surprisingly has gotten little 
attention.

Mostly it's been dissed by the climate change folks. The fact is the 
upper atmosphere collapses during solar minima. She without detail said 
that the radiation decreased form the sun at something like 9W per 
square meter. I don't know how she derived this but seemingly it would 
have been easy to detect on earth in a fixed full sun location by 
measuring decreased output in a photovoltaic arrays. Thus there would be 
a complementary global cooling. This in fact has occurred in history 
during the Maunder Minimum.


Food for thought.
