Extended interpretation of the term “geoeffectiveness” of active solar processes

In the report, authors considered the proposed hypothesis that the term “geo-efficiency” of solar activity should take into account not only the presence of geomagnetic perturbations, but also perturbations of other geophysical fields, in particular natural atmospheric infrasound. The hypothesis is confirmed by studies of the correlation between the long-term (23 and 24 cycles of solar activity) dynamics of helio-induced changes in natural atmospheric infrasound intensity in the near Earth surface atmosphere and the dynamics of the arrival of galactic cosmic rays into the Earth’s atmosphere. These studies also confirmed the existence of a stable relationship between the shortterm (daytime) dynamics of atmospheric infrasound intensity and the growth of solar wind energy and solar cosmic rays.
