An important parameter for cosmic
ray modulation is the solar dipole moment [DM] at minimum.
I also mentioned previously the possibility of cosmic
ray modulation, via velocity induced changes in the Lorentz force which deflects them, affecting the Earth's climate (though, I still haven't made any calculations to see whether that idea holds any water).
The reversal of magnetic field strength from one solar hemisphere to the other may have significant effects on cosmic
ray modulation, for example.
Here is one from Brazil Evidence for cosmic
ray modulation in temperature records from the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly region (Annales Geophysicae, Volume 31, Issue 10, pp. 1833 - 1841, October 2013)- E. Frigo et al..
If low clouds have different IR emissivity than the high ones then they may change climate via cosmic
ray modulation even if total albedo is the same.
An empirical model of heliospheric cosmic
ray modulation on long - term time scale.
I am concerned about the apparent lack of correlation between the shortwave reflections and CRF as measured by the neutron counter (figure 6 on my DRAFT copy of «Cosmic
rays modulation of the cloud effects on the radiative flux in the Southern Hemisphere Magnetic Anomaly region»).
Although observational limitations restrict the maximum angle to be 70 ° (Suess et al. 1993), this does not affect the use of this model's reconstructions for the study of GCRs heliospheric modulation, since convective - diffusive processes are the main contributors to cosmic
rays modulation for tilt angle values greater than 50 ° (Lopate & Simpson 1991; Potgieter & Le Roux 1992; Cliver et al. 2013).

«we estimate that less than 23 %, at the 95 % confidence level, of the 11 - year cycle changes in the globally averaged cloud cover observed in solar cycle 22 is due to the change in the rate of ionization from the solar
modulation of cosmic
rays.»
Analysis of the
modulation in the first harmonic of the right ascension distribution of cosmic
rays detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Modulation is only important for cosmic
ray particles with energies below about 50 GeV.
I mean since there is no clear trend (upward or downward) in cosmic
ray flux over the period we've been able to measure them directly; and since we do not see a significant difference in climate over the 11 year solar cycle between Solar Max and Solar Min (and this
modulation is much larger than the one Svensmark is talking about); and since it is not clear how important the ionization from GCR is in cloud formation; and since the anthropogenic ghg mechanism does just fine reproducing the data, exactly how do you foresee implementing this «effect»?
Similarly to the solar magnetic
modulation, high geomagnetic field intensity decreases the flux of galactic cosmic
rays and radionuclide production rates and the opposite for low geomagnetic field intensity.
The estimates of 14C production should be more closely tied to the solar -
modulation of cosmic
rays.
On unidentified sources, there is growing evidence that solar
modulation of cosmic
rays affecting clouds has a much greater effect than IPCC estimates, with consequently smaller anthropogenic causes.
First, this effect (influence on cloud formation by solar cycle
modulation of cosmic
rays) has been known for half a century.
It is also discussed, that the 22 - year cycle observed in the cosmogenic isotopes is a
modulation effect of the cosmic
rays, and hence directly connected with the physics of the outer heliosphere.
In contrast, the suggested
modulation of low - altitude clouds by galactic cosmic
rays provides an increasingly inadequate explanation of observations.
Over the relevant time scale, the largest variations arise from the 11 - yr solar cycle, and indeed, this cloud cover seemed to follow the cycle and a half of cosmic
ray flux
modulation.
In the same figure the annual reconstructed values of the
modulation potential by ground based cosmic
ray data are plotted (blue curve).
This effect is realized through
modulation of the intensity of galactic cosmic
ray fluxes penetrating the atmosphere.
Therefore, it is important to know its variability in order to study large scale HMF dynamics and the heliospheric
modulation of cosmic
rays on long time scale including the centennial trends.
Temporal variations of the
modulation potential reconstructed by ground based observations of cosmic
rays (blue curve) and the modelled (magenta dashed curve) over the period 1951 — 2013.
We propose that the cycle may be caused by
modulation of cosmic
ray (CR) flux by the Solar system vertical oscillation (64 My period) in the galaxy, the galactic north - south anisotropy of CR production in the galactic halo / wind / termination shock (due to the galactic motion toward the Virgo cluster), and the shielding by galactic magnetic fields.
In fact, the traditional climate models do not model several mechanisms that may contribute to a significant amplification of the solar impact on climate beginning from a cloud
modulation from the cosmic
ray which is solar induced.
This interpretation is explained in terms of different contributions of convection, diffusion and drift mechanisms to the whole
modulation process influencing cosmic -
ray transport in the heliosphere.
Likely in addition to a Soli - Lunar tidal effect, there exists a planetary
modulation of the heliosphere, of the cosmic
ray flux reaching the Earth and / or of the electric properties of the ionosphere.
Solar proton events and cosmic
rays also play their part which all come under the general umbrella of solar
modulation.
The review by Idso et al. (2009) found growing evidence for indirect solar
modulation of galactic cosmic
rays (GCR) ionization influencing clouds, that IPCC has dismissed as unsupported.
In the early days of Blu -
ray, the uncompressed soundtrack (PCM, or pulse - code
modulation) was often included on the disc.
