The Sun's
activity — including
changes in the number of sunspots, levels of radiation and ejection of material - varies on an eleven - year cycle, driven by
changes in its
magnetic field.
It monitors
changes in Earth's
magnetic field, providing data that help NOAA and the U.S. Air Force track
magnetic storms due to solar
activity.
But mole rats that built nests within
changing magnetic fields showed strong
activity in a brain region called the superior colliculus, which collects spatial cues and directs orienting behavior.
After all, the implied
changes in GCR flux are huge compared to what is expected from the gentle modulation of the Earth's
magnetic field arising from recent solar
activity changes (not that there's any trend in those that would explain recent warming).
The good news: The scientists argue that the minimum
magnetic field strength will
change depending on the M - dwarf's spectral type, as well as on stellar
activity and stellar
magnetic field strength
changes.
Heliophysics encompasses cosmic rays and particle acceleration, space weather and radiation, dust and
magnetic reconnection, solar
activity and stellar cycles, aeronomy and space plasmas,
magnetic fields and global
change, and the interactions of the solar system with our galaxy.»
Solar»
activity» encompasses
changes in solar
magnetic field strength, IMF, CRF, TSI, EUV, solar wind density and velocity, CMEs, proton events etc..
We show that the index commonly used for quantifying long - term
changes in solar
activity, the sunspot number, accounts for only one part of solar
activity (William: Closed
magnetic field) and using this index leads to the underestimation of the role of solar
activity in the global warming in the recent decades.
Fluctuations in solar
activity, including
magnetic field - powered sunspots and solar flares, have been linked to past
changes in climate, including, controversially, the Little Ice Age.
Your own 300 year long sunspot data (as well as those of Wang, Lean, and Sheeley) http://www.vukcevic.talktalk.net/TMC.htm also suggest that there is an (for some inconvenient) direct strong link between solar
activity and the Earth's
magnetic field change.
Long - term trends in the upper atmosphere - ionosphere are a complex problem due to simultaneous presence of several drivers of trends, which behave in a different way: increasing atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases, mainly CO2, long - term
changes of geomagnetic and solar
activity, secular
change of the Earth's main
magnetic field, remarkable long - term
changes of stratospheric ozone concentration, and very probably long - term
changes of atmospheric dynamics, particularly of atmospheric wave
activity (Lastovicka 2009; Qian et al. 2011; Lastovicka et al. 2012).
Whereas CO2 concentration is quasi-steadily increasing, other drivers
change their trends with time even to opposite (solar and geomagnetic
activity, stratospheric ozone), or
change trends with location (Earth's main
magnetic field), or with latitude (geomagnetic
activity), or are largely unknown but probably unstable in space and time (atmospheric winds and waves).
Since these
fields are close enough to react with eachother
changes in the suns
magnetic fiels must certainly have an effect on the Earth's tectonic
activity.
Sunspots and other forms of solar
activity are produced by
magnetic fields, whose
changes also affect the radiation that the Sun emits, including its distribution among shorter and longer wavelengths.
After all, the implied
changes in GCR flux are huge compared to what is expected from the gentle modulation of the Earth's
magnetic field arising from recent solar
activity changes (not that there's any trend in those that would explain recent warming).
