Photo-nucleation theory of correlation of Stream-flow of four South American rivers with Sunspot Cycle

C.T.R.Wilson showed that when supersaturated water vapour was exposed to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight or other sources in the presence of oxygen it immediately condensed to form an aerosol. This phenomenon was eventually explained as due to the formation of a charge-transfer complex H2O+O2-,...

Zusammenfassung:C.T.R.Wilson showed that when supersaturated water vapour was exposed to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight or other sources in the presence of oxygen it immediately condensed to form an aerosol. This phenomenon was eventually explained as due to the formation of a charge-transfer complex H2O+O2-, whose existence was confirmed theoretically and subsequently established experimentally. It is proposed that the correlation recently discovered between the stream-flow of the Parana and three other rivers in South America and the solar sunspot cycle is due to the photo-nucleation mechanism investigated by Wilson.
