D. Djurovic et al., NEW INDICATIONS FOR THE SOLAR ORIGIN OF THE 50-DAY CYCLE IN THE ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION AND EARTHS ROTATION, Astronomy and astrophysics, 288(1), 1994, pp. 335-341
An analysis of Universal Time, the atmospheric angular momentum, the c
orona index and the total solar irradiance spectra by the Fourier tran
sform and Wavelet technique, indicates that the Madden-Julian oscillat
ion, which causes the corresponding oscillation in the Earth's rotatio
n, is generated by the variable solar irradiance. The present analysis
confirms the existence in the Earth rotation, the atmospheric circula
tion, and the solar activity of three oscillations with periods around
40, 50 and 70-day found earlier by the first two authors.
