Book excerpt: History and background: NSF Grant-14077 was requested to complete the study of long-term solar-weather relationships that constituted the primary investigation of NSF Grant-5931. Grant-5931 completed the first, or solar phase of the investigation, as summarized in Scientific Report No. 1 (2) , and had completed roughly 5001 of the second, or climatic, phase of the investigation, by the expiration of the period of the grant in September 1961. Grant-14077 completed the second phase of the investigation, as summarized in Scientific Report No. 1 of that grant ). At the termination of the period of Grant-14077 in September 1962 all of the data had been prepared for the final, or solar-climatic, phase of the investigation. There remained to be completed only some programming and a large amount of numerical computation for the analysis of the processed data. Consequently the Final Report (1) of Grant-14077 which was submitted in October 1962 could be only in the nature of a Progress Report. Nearly all of the final results of this study of solar-climatic relationships at that time were still in process of computation. This report contains those final results, which are discussed under the following topic headings:- 1. The correlation of solar and climatic indices. 2. Manifestations of the double sunspot cycle (1899-1962) in a. Phase variations of the solar and the climatic indices. b. Mean hemispheric circulation patterns. 3. Hemispheric circulation and climatic anomalies associated with extremes of solar activity. Most of the extensive numerical computation that constitutes the statistical basis of this report was done at the M. I. T. Computation Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
