Parametric sensitivity of hemispheric albedo symmetry weakly constrains...
Earth's albedo is symmetric between the northern and southern hemispheres (NH and SH, respectively) because SH clouds compensate for higher NH clear‐sky albedo, a feature...- publication PDF

Triggering the birth of new cycle's sunspots by solar tsunami
When will a new cycle's sunspots appear? We demonstrate a novel physical mechanism, namely, that a "solar tsunami" occurring in the Sun's interior shear-fluid layer can trigger...- publication PDF
