Dynamical evidence for causality between galactic cosmic rays and interannual variation in global temperature.

Questionable dynamical evidence for causality between galactic cosmic rays and interannual variation in global temperature.

Tsonis et al. (1) claim a significant causality between cosmic rays (CRs) and interannual variation in global temperature (ΔGT) by using convergent cross mapping (CCM) (2). Their results are potentially helpful to model the climate system. However, we are unable to reproduce their results and suspect that this dynamical evidence uncovered by CCM is questionable. CCM is based on the theory of st...

Physical Investigation of Space, Dosimetry of Space Ionizing Ray Effect (Van Allen belts, Galactic Cosmic Rays and Solar particles) and Plotting Dose Map for Satellite Circular Missions

One of the main factors for satellite design is simulating of total ionizing dose due to space ionizing rays in devices used in space. By measurement of induced dose based on available data in different altitudes, expenses of designing, satellite weight and amount of needed fuel will be reduced. Optimum design of satellite for protecting satellite against ionizing radiation has considerable eff...

Correlation Studies of Cosmic Ray Flux and Atmospheric and Space Weather

Since 1950’s there has been a growing interest of understanding the effects of cosmic ray radiation on the increase in average global temperature. Recent studies showed that galactic cosmic rays play a significant role in the formation of low cloud coverage and its consequent impact on the global temperature variation of the earth. A long-term measurement of the cosmic ray flux distribution at ...

Artificial Atmospheric Ionization:

Galactic cosmic rays have been positively correlated to the Earth’s low cloud cover. It is now evident that cosmic ray ionization is linked to lowering nucleation barriers and promoting early charged particle growth into the Aitken range. There is a substantially high probability that some of the charged particles grow to the 100 nm range and beyond to become CCN. There is also evidence that el...
