ON THE LINK BETWEEN NORTHERN FENNOSCANDIAN CLIMATE AND LENGTH OF THE QUASI-ELEVEN-YEAR CYCLE IN GALACTIC COSMIC-RAY FLUX

Abstract. Bidecadal fluctuations in terrestrial climate were analyzed. It was shown that this variability might arise if Earth’s climate reacts to galactic cosmic-ray intensity, integrated over its full quasi-11-year cycle. It was further shown that this integral effect should also lead to an effect...

Description
Summary:Abstract. Bidecadal fluctuations in terrestrial climate were analyzed. It was shown that this variability might arise if Earth’s climate reacts to galactic cosmic-ray intensity, integrated over its full quasi-11-year cycle. It was further shown that this integral effect should also lead to an effective link between climate and the duration of the quasi-11-year cycle in cosmic ray flux. That, in turn, must result in appearance of some connection between climate and the length of the solar cycle, which is currently a topic of active debate. Analyses of temperature proxies, obtained for northern Fennoscandia, confirmed the connection of the climate in this region and the length of the cycle in galactic cosmic-ray intensity. Decadal and bidecadal variability of integrated cosmic-ray flux was
