Abstract:
Results obtained by the investigation of short-term reactions of the general circulation to sudden solar disturbance are summarized as follows a The superposed epoch means of the daily standardized departure patterns of sea-level pressure do not appear to be related to any significant degree to the key day of solar disturbance. b There is significant evidence of some suppression of the variability of the daily patterns of sea-level pressure departures on days following the key day of solar disturbance, most notably on days 0 to 4 during the winter half year and on days 6 to 10 during the summer half year. c There is significant evidence of some increase of the variability of the daily patterns of sea-level pressure departures at approximately day 14 following the key day of solar disturbance. d Correlation evidence supports only to a limited degree results b and c, primarily that of some suppression of the variability of the daily pressure departure patterns on days 0 to 4 during the winter half year. e The resemblance of these results to those derived in the study of solar-climatic relationships lies in the fact that more significance attaches to variance relationships than to mean pattern relationships. Significance levels are generally lower for the short-term than for the climatic relationships.
