27-day solar cycle
11-year solar insolation: 0.1%
11-year Lyman-: 50%
27-day UV (200-300 nm): 0.23%
27-day Lyman-: 5%

Methods
Daily and zonally averaged in 36 latitude bins 30 layers from 1-1000 mbar Traditional Fourier transform, with Hanning
window of 20-25 (10-20) days and 35-40 (40-50) days
Empirical mode decomposition 27-day mainly in mode #4, sometime leak to
mode #3 13.5-day mainly in model #3
EMD to remove long periods followed by FFT Running mean window of 60 days CMD & Wavelet

Summary and Future work
Presence of quasi 27-day signals in the atmosphere is established
A likely source is solar forcing A potentially useful tool for calibrating climate
models
Analyzing WACCM3 (0-150 km)
