6 During a period of heliospheric disturbance in 2007-9 associated with a co-rotating interaction 7 region (CIR), a characteristic periodic variation becomes apparent in neutron monitor data. This 8 variation is phase locked to periodic heliospheric current sheet crossings. Phase-locked electrical 9 variations are also seen in the terrestrial lower atmosphere in the southern UK, including an in...

A relationship between the heliospheric magnetic field, atmospheric electric lightning activity, and secondary cosmic rays measured on high mount of Lomnický Štít (2,634 m a.s.l.), Slovakia, during declining phase solar cycle 24 is investigated with a focus variations related to rotation (about 27 days). The are detected using neutron monitor detector system SEVAN, which distinguishes different...

many reports that appeared during the last 20 years have shown that atmospheric pollution causes serious damage to human health and to environment. electricity generation from fuel fossil is one of the major sources of pollution and considerable share of this damage. the price of electricity in iran, as in many other countries also, includes only the production of private costs and ignores any ...

[1] The microsatellite Tatiana recently detected two scales of the UV flash duration: 1–4 ms and 10–64 ms. This paper studies the atmospheric electricity phenomena that can serve as a source for short‐millisecond‐range flashes. It is shown that UV flashes in the millisecond scale detected by Tatiana may be explained as generated by gigantic blue jets (GBJ). The influence of an assumed self‐cons...
