“…It is this correlation that the proponents of a lunar effect have universally disregarded in their analyses. Bell and Defouw [1964] and Bigg [1963a] realized that such an effect was possible or even probable, but decided it was insignificant after only a cursory analysis, whereas Stolov and Cameron [1964] did not even mention the possibility of such an effect.…”

“…In the same issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research, Stolov and Cameron [1964] published a superposed epoch analysis of the percent deviation of the 3-hourly K^1s from the average for that lunar month. They compared the excursion length and area* of this result to those of some randomized data.…”

“…This is a distance of approximately 4 RE. There is no evidence for a lunar effect on geomagnetic activity during disturbed periods (Stolov and Cameron, 1964). Previous attempts to measure a lunar magnetic field (Dolginov et al, 1961) have indicated that if such a field exists it must be less than 50-100 gammas at the surface.…”

“…Davidson and Martyn (1964) and Michel et al (1964) were, however, unable to find any dependence Of terrestrial magnetic activity on lunar phase. Meanwhile both Bell and Defouw (1964) and Stolov and Cameron (1964) independently reported finding a decrease of geomagnetic disturbance for several days before full moon and an increase for several days after full moon during the last 31 years. Both the decrease and the increase amounted to approximately 4%.…”

“…In Michel et al (1964), the authors studied the correlation between the Kp index of geomagnetic activity and 30-year period Moon data phases starting from 1931 and found no correlation. However, using the same data for solar activity cycles 17-19, Stolov and Cameron (1964) found that Kp decreases relative to the average value over several days before the full Moon and increases by the same value over several days after the full Moon. In addition, Gulyaev and Gulyaeva (1992) reported increases in the geomagnetic field disturbances during the full Moon at the solar activity minimum using the auroral electrojet index.…”
