The study of the global atmospheric electric circuit has advanced dramatically in the past 50 years. Large advances have been made in the areas of lightning and thunderstorm research, as related to the global circuit. We now have satellites looking down on the Earth continuously, supplying informati

In the search for a physical mechanism that could account for reported correlations between solar activity parameters and climate, we have investigated the global cloud cover observed by satellites. We find that the observed variation of 34% of the global cloud cover during the recent solar cycle is
The role of people in the Holocene | 59 .. onwards (Iversen 1941). Over the succeeding decades, several publications have shown that some of the resulting changes in ecosystem function led to early transformation of land-cover that has persisted to the present day (Godwin 1944). The role of environm
Here, the role played by Lagrangian points and the Oort clouds of planets in the evolution and structure of the Solar System has been discussed. It is revealed that the Lagrangian points are not mere isolated points in space associated with the orbit of a planet at which the resultant gravitational
The recent ยฎnding of a signiยฎcant correlation between variations of the cosmic ray ยฏux and the global cloud coverage by Svensmark and Friis-Christensen (1997; hereafter abbreviated S&FC) lent countenance to the idea that cosmic rays might aect the Earth's weather and climate, which was suggested 40
