Om. Raspopov et al., Cosmic rays as main factor of influence of solar variability on climatic and atmospheric parameters, BIOFIZIKA, 43(5), 1998, pp. 902-908
Analysis of experimental data demonstrates that cosmic ray enhancement stim
ulates an increase of atmospheric aerosoles and cloudiness. The study of so
lar proton events (SIZE) has shown that during SPE one can observe increase
in aerosole density by 1,4-1,8 times at 12-18 km altitudes. Such variation
s of aerosole density can be detected on global scale. aerosole variations
cause changes in integral atmospheric transparency which during disturbed p
eriods can reach 5-6%. The atmospheric integral transparency variations are
not; less during the solar cycle on account of galactic cosmic ray variati
ons. Atmospheric transparency variations creating the so-called <<grey filt
er>> for solar radiation should lead to surface temperature variations, Dur
ing the periods of low solar activity under the influence of enhanced galac
tic cosmic ray fluxes, the density of the <<grey filter>> should increase a
nd cause a decrease in surface temperatures, correspondingly. In frame of t
he physical mechanism considered the connection between salar cycle duratio
ns and surface temperature variations can be explained. In addition, one ca
n understand the physical reason for the <<Little Ice Age>> appearance duri
ng Maunder minimum of solar activity, 2400 years periodicity of climatic pr
ocesses, strong influence of the decrease in main geomagnetic field intensi
ty an the development of Ice Age and Global Cooling.
