Phil,

It has been almost a year exactly. With the recent NASA news on sunspots, do you have anything new to add to this article?

An interesting bit of work, but I don’t understand how a one year delay in this sub-surface movement has produced a three year delay in the start of the cycle. In 2006, the main-stream prediction was for a year’s delay, but a very energetic cycle. Cycle 24 has finally started, but it certainly doesn’t look energetic.

RE: KC Says — paraphrasing that remark that ‘this wasn’t a NASA press release’ … NASA might not have done the work, but, it DID sponsor the work & did provide the press release; the NASA press release for this is at:

http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/17jun_jetstream.htm?list1065474

Also, Stanford’s Dr. Leif Svaalgard (an eminently qualified ‘solar scientist’) addressed this specific press release, and he didn’t mince words, at (scroll down or search to the first “Leif” reference):

http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/06/17/solar-cycle-24-lack-of-sunspots-caused-by-sluggish-solar-jet-stream-returning-soon/#more-8598

He comments regularly at that site to inject some objective science — and deserves credit for restricting his comments to the subject for which he’s most qualified.

I just wished our “Bad Astronomer” picked up on what that release was really about and gave it the proper credit due, and no more….
