Some aspects of heliometeorologic coupling

Abstract

Solar activity events that influence the lower atmosphere of the Earth have been considered as a function of various geographical factors. Certain regions have been isolated, where meteorologic characteristics are closely related to solar activity. The summer duration in one of these regions is shown to correlate well with solar activity characteristics, such as the Wolf number and the geomagnetic aa-index. A hypothesis is suggested that there are certain zones through which solar activity controls the entire Earth's atmosphere. The ways to locate such zones are discussed.
