Analysis of lower atmosphere pressure field response for short-time cosmic ray variations by Multifield Comparison Measure method

Abstract

Pressure variation in lower atmosphere which take place after intensive solar proton events and Forbush-decreases of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) are analyzed for the period 1980-2006. There were plotted groups of charts (multifields) for 48 solar proton events with energies of particles Ep > 90 MeV and for 48 Forbush-decreases of GCRs with amplitudes dN/N > 2.5%. These multifields revealed a growth of matrix norm over North Atlantic region and North of European part of Russia during days following the bursts of solar protons and Forbush-decreases of GCRs, respectively. These results confirm hypothesis about relation of regional cyclogenesis processes with short-term variations of solar and galactic cosmic rays.
