RSSWATERLOO, Ont. (Monday, Dec. 21, 2009) – Cosmic rays and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), both already implicated in depleting the Earth’s ozone layer, are also responsible for changes in the global climate, a University of Waterloo scientist reports in a new peer-reviewed paper. In his paper, Qing-Bin Lu, a professor of physics and astronomy, shows how CFCs [...]
The growth of British trees appears to follow a cosmic pattern, with trees growing faster when high levels of cosmic radiation arrive from space. Researchers made the discovery studying how growth rings of spruce trees have varied over the past half a century. As yet, they cannot explain the pattern, but variation in cosmic rays [...]
The Sun is still blank (mostly). Read the article here.
Henrik Svensmark et al have a new GRL paper in press entitled: ‘Cosmic ray decreases affect atmospheric aerosols and clouds’ The Abstract states: Close passages of coronal mass ejections from the sun are signaled at the Earth’s surface by Forbush decreases in cosmic ray counts. We find that low clouds contain less liquid water following [...]
Correlation between Cosmic Rays and Ozone Depletion Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 118501 (2009) Q.-B. Lu Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, N2L 3G1, Canada Received 7 August 2008; published 19 March 2009 This Letter reports reliable satellite data in the period of 1980–2007 covering two full 11-yr cosmic ray (CR) cycles, [...]
A new paper published in the journal Geology gives some support to a link between Galactic Cosmic Rays, cloud formation and climate. The paper by Mads Faurschou Knudsen and Peter Riisager is entitled, ‘Is there a link between Earth’s magnetic field and low-latitude precipitation?’ The Abstract states: Some studies indicate that the solar modulation of [...]
