So they are basing hurricane forecasts on sunspots? Doesn't sound too sensible to me.

After reading the article, the point they're trying to make is that they're better than Dr Gray's predictions....

Last year they were of the very few who forecasted lower than observed.. Lucky..lol They already have 2008 numbers..oh my..

The Houston-based Weather Research Center is one of a handful of organizations that
make seasonal hurricane predictions. WRC uses a model called Orbital Cyclone Strike
Index (OCSI) which uses the solar cycle [an indication of the solar systems orbit] to
predict the risk for coastal residents each hurricane season. The OCSI model is based
on the premise that there are orbital influences that are reflected in the global circulation
pattern on the sun and as well as the global circulation pattern of the earth. These
orbital influences are reflected in the 11.1 year sun spot cycle.


I think they need to add more to the formula.. Like what's happening on the planet we live on..lol
