A combined analysis of the observational aspects of the quasi-biennial oscillation in solar magnetic activity

G Bazilevskaya, AM Broomhall, Y Elsworth… - Space Science …, 2014 - Springer
Solar quasi-biennial oscillations (QBOs) with the time scale of 0.6–4 yrs appear to be a basic
feature of the Sun's activity. Observational aspects of QBOs are reviewed on the basis of …

Rossby waves in astrophysics

TV Zaqarashvili, M Albekioni, JL Ballester, Y Bekki… - Space Science …, 2021 - Springer
Rossby waves are a pervasive feature of the large-scale motions of the Earth's atmosphere
and oceans. These waves (also known as planetary waves and r-modes) also play an …

Magnetic Rossby waves in the solar tachocline and Rieger-type periodicities

TV Zaqarashvili, M Carbonell, R Oliver… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
Apart from the eleven-year solar cycle, another periodicity around 155–160 days was
discovered during solar cycle 21 in high-energy solar flares, and its presence in sunspot …

Evolution and rotation of large-scale photospheric magnetic fields of the Sun during cycles 21–23-Periodicities, north-south asymmetries and r-mode signatures

R Knaack, JO Stenflo, SV Berdyugina - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2005 - aanda.org
We present the results of an extensive time series analysis of longitudinally-averaged
synoptic maps, recorded at the National Solar Observatory (NSO/Kitt Peak) from 1975 to …

Space weather challenge and forecasting implications of Rossby waves

M Dikpati, SW McIntosh - Space Weather, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Rossby waves arise in thin layers within fluid regions of stars and planets. These global
wave‐like patterns occur due to the variation in Coriolis forces with latitude. In the past …

Role of interaction between magnetic Rossby waves and tachocline differential rotation in producing solar seasons

M Dikpati, SW McIntosh, G Bothun… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic shallow-water model for the solar tachocline
(MHD-SWT) that generates quasi-periodic tachocline nonlinear oscillations (TNOs) that can …

Intermediate-term periodicities in sunspot areas during solar cycles 22 and 23

P Chowdhury, M Khan, PC Ray - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
In this paper, the data of sunspot areas recorded at the US Air Force National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration during solar Cycles 22 and 23 (1986 September 1 to 2007 …

The periodic and temporal behaviors of solar X-ray flares in Solar Cycles 23 and 24

J Oloketuyi, Y Liu, M Zhao - The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
The recent solar cycles 23 and 24 are thought to be unusually quiet with more prolonged
periods. Both sunspot groups and solar soft X-ray (SXR) flares show a decline in numbers …

Periodicities in solar flare index for cycles 21–23 revisited

A Kilcik, A Özgüç, JP Rozelot, T Ataç - Solar Physics, 2010 - Springer
The periodic analyses of solar flare data have been carried out by different authors for about
three decades. Controversial results appear as depending on the analysis techniques and …

Short-term periodicities in interplanetary, geomagnetic and solar phenomena during solar cycle 24

P Chowdhury, DP Choudhary, S Gosain… - Astrophysics and Space …, 2015 - Springer
In this paper we study the quasi-periodic variations of sunspot area/number, 10.7 cm solar
radio flux, Average Photospheric Magnetic Flux, interplanetary magnetic field (B z) and the …
