Abstract

The apparent response of the vorticity area index to the solar magnetic field is confined to tropospheric regions of intense circulation. Discussions and calculations that include larger volumes of the troposphere would not be expected to show a significant Sun-weather effect. Analysis of the effect in time intervals outside the original 1963–73 is also discussed. An assessment of this Sun-weather effect at the present time is given.
