Observations of Variability in Cosmic Rays

Observations of Variability in Cosmic Rays

Cosmic rays are the main source of ionization in the atmosphere at altitudes below 55-60km. This circumstance, together with the fact that cosmic ray flux modulation closely mirrors the solar activity time history, makes cosmic rays a good candidate as a possible mediator in the solar variability -...

Zusammenfassung:Cosmic rays are the main source of ionization in the atmosphere at altitudes below 55-60km. This circumstance, together with the fact that cosmic ray flux modulation closely mirrors the solar activity time history, makes cosmic rays a good candidate as a possible mediator in the solar variability - climate relationship. The observed cosmic ray flux variations are described with the aim of emphasizing the features which may be useful in the search of correlation between cosmic rays and atmospheric phenomena.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
