Aurora borealis and the arctic climate change: is there any relation?
In our study, we tested the hypothesis that one of the causes of climate change could also be the recently observed solar hyperactivity since it differentiates the way clouds are formed. We analyzed, from specific databases, the speed (km/s) and the proton density (p/cm 3 ) of the solar storms in th...
