D. Djurovic et P. Paquet, NEW INDICATIONS OF THE 4-MONTH OSCILLATION IN SOLAR-ACTIVITY, ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION AND EARTHS ROTATION, Solar physics, 156(2), 1995, pp. 395-404
The 4-month oscillation, detected earlier by the same authors in geoph
ysical and solar data series, is now confirmed by the analysis of othe
r observations. In the present results the 4-month oscillation is bett
er emphasized than in previous results, and the analysis of the new se
ries confirms that the solar activity contribution to the global atmos
pheric circulation and consequently to the Earth's rotation is not neg
ligeable. It is shown that in the effective atmospheric angular moment
um and Earth's rotation, its amplitude is slightly above the amplitude
of the oscillation known as the Madden-Julian cycle.
