A physical process is proposed to explain some observed correlations between the solar wind and weather. It is suggested that weather systems in the lower atmosphere inject energy into the ionosphere, producing winds which generate electric fields and currents in the dynamo region. When there is good conductivity along the geomagnetic field, electrostaticfields are mapped throughout the magnetosphere. When these occur on magnetic lines connected to the magnetopause, solar wind plasma may be moved into the magnetosphere by E x B drift, where it becomes an energy source for subsequent magnetic disturbances of direct solar wind origin. It is hypothesized that variability in the total emission of the sun is significantly smaller than variability of its components. It is suggested that the weather modification associated with interplanetary sector structure is caused by a modulation of electromagnetic radiation emission from the outer layers of the sun in specific regions in which the solar wind velocity and the magnetic field structure are also altered.
