About CC

The CC project

  • The climate clock (CC) is an independent open research project, based on the author's research. The project investigates solar system influences on climate and eco systems.
  • The Climate Clock is a metaphor to explain climate signature periods.
  • The CC project started in the 1990´s. to explain oscillating marine eco systems. Later the CC project has studied solar-lunar forced climate variations.

The Climate Machine

Climate Machine (CM) is a metaphor to explain the driving force behind climate movement. The project investigates the Lunar-forced CM, the Solar-forced CM, and Earth orbit CM.

Lunar-forced CM:

  • A framework for lunar-forced and climate variability
  • Lunar-forced climate model up to 446 years
  • Lunar-forced tide signature
  • Luna-forced Global Sea temperature signature
  • Lunar-forced Arctic ice extent signature
  • Lunar-forced NAO index
  • Lunar-forced CO2 signature
  • Lunar-forced stochastic resonance in marine biomass variability

Solar-forced CM:

  • Jovian planet forced solar position oscillation.
  • Jovian planet forced grand solar minima and grand maxima.
  • Jovian planet forced solar activity.
  • Solar-forced Total Solar irradiation 4450-year signature.
  • Solar-forced Grand solar minima and Grand solar maxima.
  • Solar-forced Global Sea surface signature.
  • Solar-forced Little Ice ages.
  • Solar-forced next deep solar minimum in 2070.

Earth Orbit-forced CM:

  • Ice age signature periods up to 100.000 years

CC founding

The Climate Clock project has no funding.
