Provide a sufficient amplifying mechanism. The GCR intensity is strongly modulated by the solar wind, a GCR-cloud link may

Solar activity, but variations of the Sun's electromagnetic radiation appear toīe too small to account for the observed climate variability. The Earth's climate seems to be remarkably sensitive to This correlation were to be established by a causal mechanism, it could provideĪ crucial step in understanding the long-sought mechanism connecting solar andĬlimate variability. Recent satellite data have revealed a surprising correlation between galacticĬosmic ray (GCR) intensity and the fraction of the Earth covered by clouds.
