Definitions
from The Century Dictionary.
- Noting a function such that, when the variable is increased by a certain fixed amount, it has its value multiplied by a fixed function: thus, l is quasi-periodic, because lx + 1 = l. l.

XMM-Newton detected what the astronomers call "quasi-periodic oscillations," a nearly regular "flickering" caused by the pile-up of hot gas deep within the accretion disk that forms around a massive object.

Furthermore, as you noted in the original comment, very long-tailed stochastic processes have been identified in solar behavior, while other quasi-periodic astronomical phenomena eg changes in earth orbital parameters, fluctuations in cosmic ray influx etc that have been identified as possible climate drivers would also lead to long period autocorrelations in climate variables.
