Numerous sources produce the ionization impact on the planetary atmosphere. The tropospheric cloudiness therewith is originated at such altitudes, which coincide with places of the maximum of the atmospheric ionization that caused by space radiation. Components of cosmic radiation, penetrating down to the stratospheric and tropospheric altitudes, produce in the first place the ionization of aerosols that brings to subsequent amplifying the activity of atmospheric vortices. The ionized aerosol constituent is of primary importance both in the initiation of plasma vortices and in the concentration of energy-mass by air vortices due to the humidity condensation. The ionization process is cascading, that causes the non-linear impact of penetrating rays, which amplifying with growing the air pollution. Various heterogeneities inside plasma subsystems provoke the random intensification of aperiodic electrostatic disturbances, which can exert a significant action on the development of vortices. Sometimes beaded lightning arises during thunderstorm. Using the approach of the Boltzmann kinetic equation, the characteristics of electrostatic oscillations for non-uniform plasma, are analytically derived. The analytical expressions are obtained for non-magnetized plasma. In the limits of the Earth's atmosphere, these solutions are strictly applicable to the origination of electrostatic modulations along the lines of force of the geomagnetic field and approximately applicable in cases, when the impact of the Earth's magnetic field is negligible. The explicit expressions are deduced both in 2 the hot plasma approximation and in the cold plasma approximation. It is demonstrated that the formation of chain elements of discharge in hot inhomogeneous plasma is defined by the nonmonotonic distribution of charges and fields. At such conditions, the irregularities breaks up into a cellular structure.

“…Cosmic rays are actively involved in the formation of thunderstorm electricity. Solar-terrestrial relations in the formation of atmospheric clouds and climate are nonlinear [3][4][5][6][7]. Periods of high solar activity are usually accompanied by droughts and elevated temperatures [8].…”

“…At phase transitions during condensation and crystallization of moisture on the aerosol particles, latent heat is released; structures of a cyclonic type accumulate energy. With the mosaic cellular distribution of ionized aerosols in the geomagnetic field, plasma vortices are excited on pressure gradients orthogonal to the geomagnetic field [4,6,24,25]. At the rotor genetic level, plasma vortices interact with atmospheric vortices like particle velocity vortices.…”

The Earth’s atmosphere is affected by various ionizing sources. The maximum ionization of atmospheric particles by cosmic rays corresponds to the altitude of formation of tropospheric clouds. In the high-latitude troposphere for the region of the geomagnetic polar cap, in the winter period, the excitation of local cyclonic structures are observed which are accompanied with ice storms, with invasions into middle and subtropical latitudes. The time of excitation of such cyclones is about a day that is comparable with the time of excitation of tornadoes, which are generated at low latitudes. Localization of polar cyclones is not accidental. The region of the polar cap is connected with geomagnetic field lines extended into the tail of the Earth’s magnetosphere. This area is open for the penetration of cosmic rays. The ionization of aerosols in the stratosphere and the upper troposphere by precipitating particles of cosmic rays enhances the vortex activity of the atmosphere. The important role of the aerosol impurity is manifested in the generation of plasma vortices and in the accumulation of energy and mass in the atmosphere by vortices during condensation of moisture. Due to the cascade character of the ionization process, the influence of cosmic radiation turns out to be non-linear and increases with increasing pollution of the atmosphere. Aperiodic electrostatic perturbations, which play a remarkable role in the genesis of vortices, are stochastically excited in plasma inhomogeneities. During the interaction of plasma vortices and Rossby vortices, a large-scale vortex structure is formed and grows.

“…Тем не менее такая примесь играет ключевую роль в возбуждении плазменных вихрей и последующем накоплении усиливающимися атмосферными вихрями энергии и массы в процессе конденсации атмосферной влаги. С возникающими электрическими полями в атмосферной аэрозольной плазме связано возбуждение и нарастание плазменных вихрей [4][5][6][7]. Немонотонная пространственная зависимость коэффициента диэлектрической проницаемости по отношению к стохастическим электростатическим возмущениям детерминированно приводит к усилению плазменных неоднородностей и появлению ячеистых структур в переменных электромагнитных полях, возникающих при разделении зарядов и электрических пробоях.…”

Грозовые разряды излучают пакеты электромагнитных волн, проникающие на ионосферные и магнитосферные высоты. В результате электростатические и электромагнитные возмущения в неустойчивой плазме вызывают стимулированное высыпание заряженных частиц. Показано, что при образовании волноводных каналов в геомагнитных силовых трубках электромагнитные волны, захваченные в плазменные волноводы, провоцируют высыпание в атмосферу потоков энергичных заряженных частиц из радиационных поясов Земли. В каскадах высыпающихся частиц ионизуются атмосферные частицы, в частности аэрозоли. На градиентах давления плазмы, ортогональных геомагнитному полю, в атмосфере возбуждаются плазменные вихри, а при взаимодействии последних с высотными волнами Россби на роторном генетическом уровне формируются мощные атмосферные вихревые структуры. Электромагнитные волны, отражаясь от слоёв ионосферной плазмы в магнитосопряжённых районах, стимулируют высыпание частиц на двух противоположных границах геомагнитной силовой трубки. Волновые пакеты, излучаемые при разрядах молний, влияют на атмосферную вихревую структуру, генерирующую разряды, как напрямую, так и через возникающую положительную обратную связь. Если в определённом районе над вихревой структурой образовались волноводные каналы, то стимулированное высыпание частиц влияет на атмосферные процессы также и в магнитосопряжённом к нему районе.
