This study is focused on the analysis of signatures of extra-terrestrial influence on the centennial variability of some climatic variables, during the period 1900-2010. The applied lagged cross-correlation analysis shows evidence for a synchronisation between intensity of galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and two climate variables – the air surface temperature and the sea level pressure. The time delay of climatic response is not more than 5 years in the regions of stronger correlations. Moreover, the centennial variability of GCR is imprinted on the ozone mixing ratio at 70 hPa, suggesting its role of a mediator of GCR influence on climate. Having in mind the ozone’s capability to control the near tropopause temperature and humidity, we have suggested a mechanism describing the transmission of GCR signal from lower stratosphere, down to the Earth’s surface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
