Sounds like the most plausible explanation yet. This is very good news. Can't wait.

"...a jet stream deep inside the sun is migrating slower than usual through the star's interior, giving rise to the current lack of sunspots". And its all Barack Obama's fault! This disruption ofthe solar jet stream is due to carbon emissions here on earth. If only Obama would stop taking Air Force 1 on dates, the solar jet stream would return to normal. This has already been decided. There is no longer any room for debate.

I am very happy to hear this. This certainly gives us hope for better conditions. But like Yogi Berra always says: "I'll Believe It, When I Believe It." Vince P KA3NRX

Come on, sunspots. We probably couldn't be so lucky, but maybe the cycle will be slow receding, too.

WA4KCN; I'm shocked and appalled at you, surely you realize, that would be a SWAG: a SCIENTIFIC wild ass guess!! Hi hi.

So where were all these smarty-pants seismic sun mappers the last two years while all the hams were tossing and turning at night about the minimum? Maybe next minimum the ARRL should hire those guys straight away to keep tabs on things and keep the ham community posted.

As K7RA wrote: "If you dig through the technical literature, you'll discover that there are more than 50 predictions for Cycle 24. They range from a low smoothed sunspot number of 40 to a high of 185. Why are there so many predictions? That's a simple question to answer - solar scientists do not fully understand the process that generates sunspots, and thus many different methods have been used to make a prediction". Solar sunspot or global warming predictions - same difference. Neither group really has a full understanding.
