“…The notion of the decisive role of anthropogenic gases is widespread among the scientific community [1][2][3]. However, according to another point of view, climate variability may be induced by factors outside the climatic system like variations in the solar activity, the changes in Earth's orbital parameters, the influence of the charged particles from a cosmic origin [4][5][6], etc. This section presents an overview of the potential mechanisms of influence of external factors on climate, being considered as important for the life on the Earth.…”

This study is focused on the analysis of signatures of extra-terrestrial influence on the centennial variability of some climatic variables, during the period 1900-2010. The applied lagged cross-correlation analysis shows evidence for a synchronisation between intensity of galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and two climate variables – the air surface temperature and the sea level pressure. The time delay of climatic response is not more than 5 years in the regions of stronger correlations. Moreover, the centennial variability of GCR is imprinted on the ozone mixing ratio at 70 hPa, suggesting its role of a mediator of GCR influence on climate. Having in mind the ozone’s capability to control the near tropopause temperature and humidity, we have suggested a mechanism describing the transmission of GCR signal from lower stratosphere, down to the Earth’s surface.
