Investigation of solar-terrestrial relations in the stratosphere and troposphere

The relationship between solar activity and change in atmospheric conditions in the lower atmosphere was investigated. The solar-weather relationship was studied however, the generally accepted physical explanation of the occurrence of solar activity effects in the middle and lower atmosphere is not proven. The results of solar terrestrial relations in the upper atmosphere is examined statistically. The dynamic reactive effect of the middle atmosphere on the troposphere is discussed. It is found that the atmospheric vorticity increases significantly 3 to 4 days after the beginning of a geomagnetic storm. It is also shown that the vorticity area index (VAI) decreases statistically shortly after passing a sectorial line of the interplanetary solar magnetic field. It is found that planetary sources carry over the solar activity effects which originate in the middle atmosphere into the lower atmosphere.
