The Sun's magnetic (Hale) cycle and 27 day recurrences in the geomagnetic index

S. C. Chapman, S. W. McIntosh, R. J. Leamon +1

We construct a new solar cycle phase clock which maps each of the last 18 solar cycles onto a single normalized epoch for the approximately 22 year Hale (magnetic polarity) cycle,…

On Generalized Langevin Dynamics and the Modelling of Global Mean Temperature

Nicholas Watkins, Sandra Chapman, Aleksei Chechkin +3

Climate science employs a hierarchy of models, trading the tractability of simplified energy balance models (EBMs) against the detail of Global Circulation Models. Since the pionee…

Overlapping Magnetic Activity Cycles and the Sunspot Number: Forecasting Sunspot Cycle 25 Amplitude

Scott W. McIntosh, Sandra C. Chapman, Robert J. Leamon +2

The Sun exhibits a well-observed modulation in the number of spots on its disk over a period of about 11 years. From the dawn of modern observational astronomy sunspots have presen…

Timing Terminators: Forecasting Sunspot Cycle 25 Onset

Robert J Leamon, Scott W. McIntosh, Sandra C. Chapman +1

Recent research has demonstrated the existence of a new type of solar event, the "terminator." Unlike the Sun's signature events, flares and Coronal Mass Ejections, the terminator…

A parallel workload has extreme variability in a production environment

R. Henwood, N. W. Watkins, S. C. Chapman +1

Writing data in parallel is a common operation in some computing environments and a good proxy for a number of other parallel processing patterns. The duration of time taken to wri…

A parallel workload has extreme variability

R. Henwood, N. W. Watkins, S. C. Chapman +1

In both high-performance computing (HPC) environments and the public cloud, the duration of time to retrieve or save your results is simultaneously unpredictable and important to y…
