Scientific paper

A study has been performed in an effort to detect a lunar signature in geomagnetic data. Ap-indices available for the period between 1932 and 1972 have been used for this purpose. The data have been divided into some 500 lunar months which were superimposed in correspondence with the phase of the moon. At or shortly after full moon, a peak appears which exceeds the average value by about three standard deviations. Possible explanations for the generation of geomagnetic disturbances by the moon are given.
