Equivalent electric circuit of magnetosphere-ionosphere-atmosphere interaction
  The aim of this study is to investigate the magnetospheric disturbances
effects on complicated nonlinear system of atmospheric processes. During
substorms and storms, the ionosphere was subjected to rather a significant
Joule heating, and the power of precipitating energetic particles was also
great. Nevertheless, there were no abnormal variations of meteoparameters in
the lower atmosphere. If there is a mechanism for the powerful magnetospheric
disturbance effect on meteorological processes in the atmosphere, it supposes a
more complicated series of many intermediates, and is not associated directly
with the energy that arrives into the ionosphere during storms. I discuss the
problem of the effect of the solar wind electric field sharp increase via the
global electric circuit during magnetospheric disturbances on the cloud layer
formation.
