DOI: 10.1016/j.jastp.2019.04.002
Abstract: Abstract Many atmospheric processes such as atmospheric ionization, cloudiness, temperature and terrestrial lightning have been attributed to galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) hitting the Earth's atmosphere. While some of these theories linking cosmic rays with Earth's… read more here.
