Magnetic declination and climate change

Earth’s Magnetic Field is the magnetic field extended from inner Earth till out to space, meeting the solar wind. Its importance is crucial due to the deflection in most of solar wind having as a result the existence of ozone layer and the protection of Earth from UV radiation - a basic mechanism for preservation of life on Earth. Although the magnetic field is deeply studied for its contribution to life preservation, an important question is still unanswered - the possible relationship between Earth’s magnetic field and climate. Plenty of studies are focused on correlations involving time series and ionospheric variations but the physical mechanism remains unknown. Here, we propose an explanation based on time series (Historical Magnetic Declination) and the ionospheric variation over Europe as well as in other parts of the world, with a focus on zonal winds. We’ll examine a time series from Middle Ages till modern times in correlation with solar activity and weather history data, to support the hypothesis that there is a link between Earth’s climate changes and geomagnetic field variations. Finally, we’ll try to predict the climate characteristics of major parts of the globe for the following years.
