Scientific paper

There are three time scales of correlation of MeV-GeV particles (galactic and solar) with changes in the sun, and with weather and climate: (1) decadal / internnual (with 11 and 22 year solar cycles and QBO), (2) century scale (with Maunder minimum etc.), (3) day to day (with coronal mass ejections, solar wind sector structure etc.). Day to day correlations are not understandable in terms of total solar irradiance or UV changes; but are understandable as solar wind/particle forcing. If solar wind/particle forcing can produce short term weather response, it could also produce decadal and longer term climate responses. A possible chain of amplifying and coupling mechanisms involves: stratospheric ionization, electric fields and chemistry; aerosol nucleation; sublimation, freezing and condensation nuclei; cloud microphysics and particle size distributions; winter storm intensification; and changes in circulation.
