It consists of: (i.) modulation of energetic particle fluxes, continuously or sporadically entering Earth's atmosphere; (ii.) ozone formation in the lower stratosphere, initiated by precipitating energetic particles, with different mechanisms for galactic and solar protons; (iii.) modulation of tropopause temperature and humidity by the ozone; (iv) greenhouse warming or cooling, depending of the sign of humidity anomaly. Provided are also evidences confirming validity of this mechanism. The spatial distribution of correlation coefficients of surface temperature with: (i) geomagnetic field intensity,(ii) total ozone and (iii) specific humidity at 150 hPa shows a persistent coherence between all of them over West Antarctica. Moreover, analysis of time series reveals that in this sector the ozone values are permanently lower, while specific humidity near the tropopause remains persistently higher than that in the East Antarctica, during all examined years. This means that during the passed half a century the near surface air temperature in the West Antarctica is warmed (by the increased near tropopause humidity), while in the East Antarctica it is cooled, due to the reduced water vapour making the atmosphere more transparent for the long-wave radiation emitted from the Earth. Thus one of the hotly discussed problems for cooling trends of the Eastern Antarctica, in the context of contemporary global warming, could be easily solved by taking into account the geomagnetic field influence on climate.","PeriodicalId":448231,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Physics","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130840336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these applications, the potentials were assumed to have Saxon-Woods shape plus spin-orbit interaction, centrifugal and Coulomb potentials. With these potentials, before for the thermal neutrons; the elastic, inelastic (neutron radiative capture) and total scattering cross-sections of different targets were calculated. Later, total scattering cross-sections for 32He particles of three different energies on 13 targets, from 94Be to 20882Pb were calculated.

The retrieval algorithm of 24-hour AODs was performed in order to monitor regional impact of biomass burning emission on tropospheric aerosols. Results revealed that open biomass burning was a significant contributor to large carbonaceous aerosols in the vicinity of research site with AOD around 0.6-0.7. Furthermore, the prominence of open burning emission yielded short range aerosol transportation when fine and coarse aerosol particles were accumulated with the minimum and maximum average AODs of 0.2187 and 0.4291, respectively. In addition, the observation provided important insights into the physical and scavenging of aerosols under the influence of regional anthropogenic source and would be great knowledge of aerosol data development. By the lidar technique used in present work, the nocturnal AOD retrieval was advantageously available.","PeriodicalId":448231,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Physics","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123648155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
