| Zusammenfassung |
| In this paper an attempt is made to investigate the possible temporal
correlation between heavy precipitation episodes and cosmic rays' activity,
on various time scales. Cosmic rays measurements are sparse and cover less
extended periods than those of precipitation. Precipitation is largely
influenced by local climatic and even physiographic conditions, while cosmic
rays' distribution is far more uniform over an area. Thus, in an effort to
cover a larger range of climatic characteristics, each cosmic rays station
was correlated with several nearby precipitation stations. Selected
statistical methods were employed for the data processing. The analysis was
preformed on annual, seasonal, monthly and daily basis whenever possible.
Wet and dry regions and/or seasons seem to present a different response of
precipitation to cosmic rays variations. Also Forbush decreases in most
cases will not lead to heavy precipitation, yet this might be sensitive to
precipitable water availability. |
