Influence of solar wind on the global electric circuit, and inferred effects on cloud microphysics, temperature, and dynamics in the troposphere

BA Tinsley - Space Science Reviews, 2000 - Springer
There are at least three independent ways in which the solar wind modulates the flow of
current density (Jz) in the global electric circuit. These are (A) changes in the galactic cosmic …

[PDF][PDF] Atmospheric ionization and clouds as links between solar activity and climate

BA Tinsley, F Yu - GEOPHYSICAL MONOGRAPH-AMERICAN …, 2003 - albany.edu
Observations of changes in cloud properties that correlate with the 11-year cycles in space
particle fluxes are reviewed. The correlations can be understood in terms of one or both of …

atmosphere has‐well defined variations on a day‐to‐day time scale related to solar activity …

Severe autumn storms in future western Europe with a warmer Atlantic Ocean

M Baatsen, RJ Haarsma, AJ Van Delden, H De Vries - Climate Dynamics, 2015 - Springer
Simulations with a very high resolution (~ 25 km) global climate model indicate that more
severe Autumn storms will impact Europe in a warmer future climate. The observed increase …

Abstract Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) observations were used to examine the
spatial and temporal changes of the precipitation characteristics of tropical cyclones. SSM/I …

A most beautiful polar low. A case study of a polar low development in the Bear Island region

TE Nordeng, EA Rasmussen - Tellus A, 1992 - Wiley Online Library
Satellite images from 26 and 27 February 1987 of the Bear Island region show the formation
of a polar low with an unusual symmetric cloud field around a central eye, which strongly …

The role of the global electric circuit in solar and internal forcing of clouds and climate

BA Tinsley, GB Burns, L Zhou - Advances in Space Research, 2007 - Elsevier
Reports of a variety of short-term meteorological responses to changes in the global electric
circuit associated with a set of disparate inputs are analyzed. The meteorological responses …
