Repeat of Dalton Minimum "most likely"
The
earth is in for an unusually deep and long
solar minimum
19 Feb 10 - At the AGU Fall meeting, Sami K. Solanki of the Max Planck
Institute for Solar System Research announced that he believes the Sun
is leaving its fifty to sixty year long grand maximum of the second half
of the 20th century. He had said previously that the Sun was more
active in the second half of the 20th century than in the previous 8,000
years.

This was the last slide in Solanki's presentation |
While Solanki states that this is his opinion alone, and not necessarily
held by his co-authors, he holds that a repeat of the Dalton Minimum is
most likely, and that the earth is in for an unusually deep and long
solar minimum.
