Sun-weather correlation

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-010795",
  "term": "Sun-weather correlation",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A statistical relationship sought between variations in solar activity, such as the 11-year sunspot cycle or solar flares, and subsequent changes in terrestrial weather patterns. Researchers examine historical data for connections between solar output and phenomena like temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric circulation. The physical mechanisms linking solar variability to tropospheric weather are complex and not fully understood, making these correlations a subject of ongoing scientific investigation.",
