Interesting, I’ve heard of the 11 year solar cycle of course and the 22 year one from old radio books from the 1930’s to the 1950’s. I remember one Freeper mentioned an 88 year ole, maybe it was you. I think the 22 year old is the Sun’s pole shift IIRC, but what is the 88 year one? BTW, it is interesting how weather influenced history. Washington fought the American Revolution during the Little Ice Age and the Hudson froze then which helped him move arms around the Staten Island and New York City area.
Here is a rather technical article that references the 88 years cycle. It also has a number of charts going back to the 1700 information. After reading these and several pieces I find that there is a feeling the a 22 year cycle is quite important with 2 11 year cycles paired for technical reasons you can find below.

This scientific article refers to 11, 22, 88, 200, and 2000 cycles also with graphs.

The link below is part of a large work. On page 58 begins a discussion of solar variation, and then moves on to meteor and volcano influences. In fact this whole book might make interesting reading.
