Solar System Dynamics and Multiyear Droughts of the Western USA
James H Shirley
The recent addition of orbit-spin coupling torques to atmospheric global circulation models has enabled successful years-in-advance forecasts of global and regional-scale dust stor…

Terrestrial Orbit-Spin Coupling Torque Episodes in Late 2020
James H. Shirley
Orbit-spin coupling torques on the Earth in November 2020 are larger than at any other time between 2000 and 2050. This affords an opportunity to observe the terrestrial atmospheri…

Orbit-spin coupling and the interannual variability of global-scale dust storm occurrence on Mars
James H. Shirley, Michael A. Mischna
A new physical hypothesis predicts that a weak coupling of the orbital and rotational motions of extended bodies may give rise to a modulation of circulatory flows within their atm…
