ULF geomagnetic and polar cap potential signatures in the temperature and zonal wind reanalysis data in Antarctica
In the present study we investigated the possible coupling between geomagnetic activity and the low atmosphere dynamics in the polar cap. We compared daily values of the ERA-Interim temperature and zonal wind over Antarctica, with the daily geomagnetic ULF power, in the Pc5 (1–7 mHz), Pc1, and Pc2 (...

In the present study we investigated the possible coupling between geomagnetic activity and the low atmosphere dynamics in the polar cap. We compared daily values of the ERA-Interim temperature and zonal wind over Antarctica, with the daily geomagnetic ULF power, in the Pc5 (1–7 mHz), Pc1, and Pc2 (100 mHz–1 Hz) frequency ranges, at Terra Nova Bay (Antarctica, corrected geomagnetic latitude λ ~ 80°S) and with solar wind data during 2007, in correspondence to the last declining phase of the solar cycle 23. We found a high and statistically significant correspondence of temperature and zonal wind fluctuations in the stratosphere and troposphere with geomagnetic ULF power fluctuations at the ~27 day periodicity, with a substantial reduction at the tropopause height.
