Scientific paper

Cosmic ray fluxes are the only source of ionization in the atmosphere at the altitudes h between 3 and 35 km. The cosmic rays define almost all electric properties in the atmosphere: ion production, electric conductivity of air, thundercloud formation, lightning production, etc. The atmospheric electricity plays important role in the weather and climate changes. Cosmic ray fluxes are modulated by solar activity. Thus, we have the following link: solar activity changes → cosmic ray flux modulation → atmospheric electricity changes and → weather and climate changes. This link is discussed in the present paper.
