    Earlier it was noted that the thermosphere had shrunk and this too has possible impacts on air mass movements lower down where the weather (and climate change) affects us.
    From this observation the Thermosphere Climate Index (TCI) was produced. It can be seen here at https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2018/10/26/a-new-space-weather-metric/
    The TCI is an attempt to link the high altitude variation (caused by solar variation) to what happens further down where the weather happens. Note where we are now — Solar minimum and the thermosphere is cooling off.

    TCI was invented by Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center and colleagues. For the past 17 years they have been using the SABER instrument onboard NASA’s TIMED satellite to monitor the wattage of infrared emissions from the top of the atmosphere. Recently, they realized that these measurements could be used to summarize the state of the thermosphere in a single daily number -– the TCI.

    Your headline says “potentially cloud seeding”. Is there any real world evidence of a change in global cloud cover linked to solar cycles?

    Also the coming cycle 25 – with a probable start in August 2020 (here we showed how we came to this view) – will again be below average with a high degree of certainty. The peak phase of solar activity from 1935 to about 2005 (SC 17…SC23) is over.

    There is no link showing how you came to this conclusion.

      There are some who say cycle 25 has already started eg http://milesmathis.com/updates.html “NEW PAPER, added 4/26/19, Solar Minimum Blues. The mainstream is still misdirecting on the start of Cycle 25, and I am here to expose them.” and “PAPER UPDATE, added 4/28/19, Solar Minimum Blues. A kind reader sent me a link to a Solar System generator, allowing me to fine-tune my predictions for the tail-out of Cycle 25 after 2025”

        I can’t see any “papers” in your link.

    I do wish all these graphs could by labeled by month/year so the data had some meaning to the reader. As here presented it has little meaning until we translate it from the rather obtuse language in which it is presented.

    I agree with Adrian Vance. A summary of these observations/recordings in language more familiar to the non-scientific community would enable a larger universe of people to appreciate the impact of all of this.

    Month 125, April 2019, means it’s the 5th month of year 11 in the 11-year solar cycle. I understand why they count months like that being solar scientists, but having a Carl Sagan translate it for us would help spread knowledge about the sun’s influence on our climate. I’ll be topping off the propane tank in October is for dang sure.
