Discussion open for comments: ESD Ideas: Long-period tidal forcing in geophysics – application to ENSO, QBO, and Chandler wobble https://t.co/ETxANp5Bbp

— EarthSystemDynamics (@EGU_ESD) November 14, 2020

The simple idea is that tidal forces play a bigger role in geophysical behaviors than previously thought, and thus helping to explain phenomena that have frustrated scientists for decades.

The idea is simple but the non-linear math (see figure above for ENSO) requires cracking to discover the underlying patterns.

The rationale for the ESD Ideas section in the EGU Earth System Dynamics journal is to get discussion going on innovative and novel ideas. So even though this model is worked out comprehensively in Mathematical Geoenergy, it hasn’t gotten much publicity.
