INFLUENCE OF SOLAR RETROGRADE MOTION ON TERRESTRIAL PROCESSES
N.S.Sidorenkov, Ian Wilson

ABSTRACT. The influence of solar retrograde motion on secular minima of solar activity, volcanic eruptions, climate changes, and other terrestrial processes is investigated. Most collected data suggest that secular minima of solar activity, powerful volcanic eruptions, significant climate changes, and catastrophic earthquakes occur around events of solar retrograde motion.

Keywords: barycentric motion of the sun; secular minima of solar activity, volcanic eruptions, climate changes; the historical process of humankind.

1. Barycentric motion of the sun

The amplitude of the 24th 11-year cycle of solar activity was found to be the smallest over the last 200 years. Even smaller amplitudes of 11-year sunspot cycles were observed only during the Dalton Minimum. What is the cause of this decay of the amplitude of the 11-year sunspot cycle? The most plausible explanation of this phenomenon can be provided by the Jose cycle (Jose, 1965), which he obtained by calculating the trajectory of solar motion around the center of mass of the solar system. Let us look at his work more closely.
