Action on Cosmic Rays on Latent Energy of the Atmo- sphere

It is shown that cosmic rays (CR) can influence the aggregate transitions of water in free atmosphere through the air ionization and then so that influence the changes of atmospheric parameters. In this case the value of effect over diffirent regions can differ by a factor of 2-3 times (in Moscow it...

Description
Summary:It is shown that cosmic rays (CR) can influence the aggregate transitions of water in free atmosphere through the air ionization and then so that influence the changes of atmospheric parameters. In this case the value of effect over diffirent regions can differ by a factor of 2-3 times (in Moscow it is ≈ 6 mb, in Yakutsk ≈ 1,5 mb, in Apatity ≈ 3 mb The water at the atmosphere represents in the form of three components: a) in the form of separate molecules; b) in the form of clusters and compounds representing the heteronuclear particles and microscopic aerosols (many of them can serve as nuclei of condensation and sublimation of the water steam and also influence the passing of radiant energy of the Sun). Small uncharged water drops can’t exist in the free atmosphere [1]. As a result of these processes the portion of the water consisting in the atmosphere in the form of isolated molecules will change in sufficiently wide ranges which will lead to the changes of the ground pressure. For the noticeable effect from the release of latent energy on vast ter-
