Hurricane intensity changes associated with geomagnetic variation
Abstract Recently some indications have appeared that several purely meteorological processes in the terrestrial atmosphere are dependent upon magnetosphere variations. To analyse the possible relationship with North Atlantic hurricane intensification, the authors examine geomagnetic data for ten da...
