A report was released last month detailing the global electric circuit action including the magnetosphere can I on a sphere or components this is important because space weather is not always considered a factor in the global electric circuit and yet nothing influences the current characteristics more traditionally the global Lector circuit is a simple cycle where electricity comes down to the ground under fair weather high pressure and is released back up to the honesty or in storms there is a well agreed upon ambient voltage potential up there
but the problem with almost every model is its homogeny across the globe and relative stability in the face of being an electromagnetic interface with space in fact the day vs night side changes are about all you're going to find in the models even as we now know that solar flares may join solar energetic particle events and geomagnetic storms as a modulator of the lower eye on a sphere the particle and magnetosphere extortions have long been known to affect that region and even as we knew high frequency radio propagation is affected by solar flares we did not know that the fluctuations of electrons could reach an order of magnitude in the D. region.
This now means that the three primary space weather influences on earth solar flares energetic particles and geomagnetic events all drive major energetic instabilities just above what we call whether a great example of the weather action occurred in two thousand and fifteen when a solar energetic particle rise early in the U.T.C. day on October twenty ninth followed by a solar flare and rise the next day at the same time while the sun was up over the Middle East the on a sphere blinked a low pressure cell into an unfathomably rare sight clumped they had never had to hit Yemen in one year
and yet just Later that week the same active region kicked off another uptick that did not stop including the solar energetic particle event overhead once more in the only twin cycle of Benson Yemen's history took place in this weather learning playlist we've seen the correlations like this in time and now we're beginning to get excellent mechanisms for electrical modulation at both the tropics and higher latitudes up next in this playlist will see an extra tropical mechanism that almost certainly can play a tropical latitudes as well be safe everyone.
