The nitrate concentration in polar ice appears to be correlated with the intensity of solar and/or galactic cosmic rays in the polar regions. Watanabe et al have found an 11year variation of the nitrate concentration in an ice core from Antarctica, which, surprisingly, correlates positively with sunspot number. However the contribution of cosmic rays to the production of odd nitrogen in general has not yet been established. A very good correlation has been found between the fluxes of low energy (7˜15 MeV) particles observed at altitudes of 3,000 km in the polar region by the Akebono satellite and at the geostationary orbit by the GOES satellite, 36,000 km above the equator. We have investigated the impact of cosmic rays on the atmosphere over the polar regions. A very important conclusion has been obtained in that the impact of SEP was 14 times stronger than that of GCR during the solar cycle 22.
