Suns Output And Cosmic Rays...02/25/00
By Denise Prichard <creators@es.co.nz>

Dear Mitch, I had started yesterday researching the history, and this morning your email, so far as follows, will write more as day goes on, am working with a team of physicists here , one a nuclear physicist ex Hammersmith in UK who has sophisticated technology and can measure vibrations, speeds of various coloured cosmic rays etc etc. solar flares CME etc (this all couples with my studies of esoteric psychology, the seven rays and my love of astrometeorology to back up my intuitive guidance) Love Light and Laughter Denise

Dr R A Challinor, of the University of Toronto has gathered evidence of all three kinds of change with the sun in relation to the Earth, covering the decade and a half from 1955 to 1970. Chalinor has compared the annual mean rate of change of the length of day with annual mean number of sunspots and with the occurrence of earthquakes greater than magnitude 7.5 for the years  from 1957 to 1968, one complete sun spot cycle. He found a very clear suggestion of a relationship  between the changing length of day and the sunspot activity. His conclusion, quite simply , changes in the sun's activity are related to the Earth's spin. He also suggested in 1977 that a slight correlation between the number of large earthquakes occurring in a year - and the annual change in length of day.

In 1959, a great and unusual 'storm' occurred ion the Sun when 15 July, there was a very large solar flare.. There was a claim (dismissed at that point in time by most people- so nothings changed) concerning a sudden, corresponding change in the rotation of the Earth. 1959 too early for gigantic flare to be monitored by our new generation of space vehicles. In 1972 However, astronomers had a whole battery of space equipment to monitor this dramatic event.

Activity on the Sun is measured by the number of sun spots visible on the solar disc. These complex sunspots groups show alternate cycles of activity and relative calm within a period of about 11 years. The Sunspot groups themselves are caused by, and outline the region of influence of, areas on the Sun in which the Solar magnetic field is unusually strong.

Early August 1972, witnessed two of the greatest solar flares ever, writes John Gribbin and Stephen Plagemann in "The Jupiter Effect', published 1977 Fontana books. Only in July 1959 had anything similar been recorded, and that flare in turn occurred at a time when the overall activity of the Sun was more pronounced than at any time since 1610, when Galileo first recorded the existence of sun-spots. The 1972 flare came during a period of calm, out of the blue,, totally unexpected by astronomers. Satellites recorded the two August flares, and observed radiation bore characteristics spectral signature of elements such as carbon and oxygen - elements already known to exist in the Sun, but observed for the first time at gamma ray frequencies.

When the 1972 flares occurred,  the speed of the solar wind jumped more than twice its normal speed, some 1100 km, per second. Such an increase in speed increased the effectiveness of the interaction between the plasma and the Sun's magnetic fields. and it produced an increase in the screening effect of the solar plasma against the background cosmic rays from outside

the solar system. Cosmic ray physicists have found that ordinary solar flares and the associated increase in the solar wind sharply decreases the level of the background cosmic rays arriving at earth from outside the Solar system. These rapid changes in cosmic ray level are called Forbush decreases after their discoverer, and are usually followed by a gradual return to a normal level of cosmic ray background. The event of 1972 is different from the typical pattern of behaviour only in the degree of  intensity of the effect. (#Further research needed here on nuclear testing 1972 - my guides tell me this).

During the July  1959 event the cosmic ray level measured at a polar station seven days after the flare, and after three Forbush decreases and three partial recoveries, was three quarters of the level before the storm. In 1972 however, the cosmic ray storm from out of the blue produced a slightly larger relative drop, by 27% of the pre storm intensity of cosmic rays after the first two Forbush decreases

Data available from space probes about flare of 1972, there is much clear, sound, scientific evidence about how such flares interacted with the Earths magnetosphere. (Nasa will have all this data)

Dr A Danjon, of the Paris Observatory, might have been treated a little harshly when the scientific community dismissed, because of lack of evidence, his claim that the similar great flare of 1959 produced a sudden change in the length of day on earth.  Perhaps it is time to rehabilitate some of Danton's ideas, in the form which they were elaborated by DR E Schatzman in the mid 1960's.
