Greetings
I'm new to the CVCVC but have been involved in climate research and the downscaled outlook process for a number of years. I have also been collecting electric field data and have worked on the solar/electric field/weather connection for 2 decades. My question to the group; is anyone familiar with Dr. Brian Tinsley, professor University of Texas, Dallas? He has done what some believe is definitive research on the solar-weather/solar-climate link. He has proposed a mechanism by which weather and climate is directly driven by solar events. There are others as well, but Dr. Tinsley was the first with whom I communicated many years ago while in school. In my experience the meteorological community has largely ignored this important forcing in lieu of more classic, better understood forcing. Comments?
