The first paper discusses the trend of the total solar irradiance from 1980 to 2000 with a new analysis. The TSI models are shown to poorly reconstruct the fact that TSI increased from 1980 to 2000.
The second paper finds an effect of the solar-lunar tidal cycle at 14 days in a peculiar climate records referring to very high mountains in Chile. This suggests that weather patterns are also influenced by the tidal cycles in a detectable way. Thus, solar-lunar effect cannot be ignored to properly forecast weather on the long period.
Can someone explain in ordinary language what is the significance of these studies.
many things affect weather that we cannot control.
