Scientific paper

It is suggested that both sunspots and the (D/H) solar/terrestrial weather indicator seem to be paced by an accurate clock inside the sun. Sunspot cycle statistics are interpreted to show that (1) the sunspot cycle manifests no statistical indication of a random walk in phase, (2) the cycle appears to exhibit large fluctuations in phase relative to some internal oscillator in the sun, (3) the large magnitude of some of the phase errors suggests that there may be a long delay in the transport of magnetic field to the surface of the sun from the interior, (4) there is a good correlation of this delay interval with the sunspot number and presumably with the amount of magnetic flux, and (5) there are several indications that the solar cycle persists through the Maunder minimum.
