Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Modern concepts of the physical mechanisms providing a potential link between solar as well as cosmic factors and climate are described. Possible climatic effects of solar luminosity, fluxes of galactic and solar cosmic rays, UV and microwave radiation are considered. A survey of the most important experimental evidence of the reality of solar-cosmic influence on climate is presented.

Keywords:

Cosmic rays, solar-climatic relationship, solar irradiance.
