Solar wind electric field modulation of the NAO: A correlation analysis in the lower atmosphere
Using geopotential height data we find a strong correlation between theelectric field strength E of the solar wind and pressure variations inthe stratosphere and troposphere. The large-scale evolution of E seemsto influence the stratospheric pressure in both hemispheres with theexception of the pola...
