The '''Brückner-Egeson-Lockyer cycle''' is a climatic cycle of approximately 30-40 years. Originally described on the basis of periodic flooding events in southern Australia that were correlated with sunspot activity by Charles Egeson. It was supported by [[William James Stewart Lockyer|William J.S. Lockyer]] and later by [[Eduard Brückner]]. The initials "BEL" or paratridecadal cycles have since been suggested to explain various other long-term cycles including those affecting economics, human physiology, and historical events.
Charles Egeson (who possibly also went by the name of John Joseph George) first suggested 33 year cycles in Australian weather in 1889 and this was followed by Eduard Brückner's who suggested 33 to 35 year cycles in 1890. William J. S. Lockyer, the son of [[Norman Lockyer]] associated these cycles with that of sunspot activity. Similar cycles were also noted before Egeson as in the case of 35-year cycles of Perseid meteors noted by Rudolf Wolf in 1877, sunspot and weather associations by [[Giovanni Battista Riccioli]] (1651) and 30+ year cycles noted by [[Francis Bacon]] although Egeson was the first to collate numerous datasets to support the view. Egeson himself noted ancient traditional beliefs in 30 year cycles from Ceylon.<ref></ref> Brückner described 35 year cycles of cool-damp and warm-dry weather periods, an observation that had also been made by Sir Francis Bacon.<ref></ref>
Other datasets that have been suggested as following the BEL cycle including geomagnetism, military events, economics, and heart rates.<ref></ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
