International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italia aut States and interstate switching in meteorological parameters [Elektronische Daten] [E. Njau] Summary: We show theoretically and also through actual records that variations in air/surface temperature and associated meteorological parameters take place in three different states termed herein <<state 1>>, <<state 2>> and <<state 3>>. For a given place, one of the two states (i.e. states 1 and 2) is accompanied by high (or increasing) rainfall while the other state is accompanied by relatively small (or decreasing) rainfall. Systematic switching from one state to another does take place at several places under physical conditions detailed in the text. Available evidence indicates that interstate switching between states 1 and 2 is primarily caused by the 11 year solar cycle and some of those other cycles responsible for variations in the solar energy incident onto the earth-atmosphere system. Finally it is shown that one of the possible causes of double sunspot cycle variations in meteorological parameters is interstate switching between state 1 and state 2. This conclusion is both consistent with and supported by past observations.
